Twenty Five Miles
Love's Journey: A 25-Mile Quest for True Affection
Lyrics
Hey hey uh huh huh huh huh oh
Expression of excitement and anticipation.
Uh huh huh huh huh huh yeah
Continuation of excitement.
It's twenty five miles from home
Stating the distance from home.
Girl, my feet are hurting mighty bad
Expressing physical pain in the feet.
Now I've been walking a three day, two lonely nights
Describing a long journey, feeling lonely.
You know that I'm mighty mad
Expressing anger or frustration.
But I got a woman waiting for me
Mentioning a woman awaiting his return.
That's gonna make this trip worthwhile
Belief that reaching the woman will make the journey worth it.
You see she's got the kind of lovin' and a kissing
Describing the woman's affectionate nature.
A make a man go stone wild
Her love is intense and overwhelming.
So I got to keep on walkin'
Determination to keep moving forward.
I got to walk on, oh ho ho
Reiteration of the need to continue the journey.
I, I, I, I'm so tired
Expressing extreme fatigue.
But I just can't lose my stride
Determined to maintain the pace despite exhaustion.
I got fifteen miles to go now
Remaining distance to reach the destination.
And I can hear my baby calling my name
Hearing the woman's call, feeling closer to home.
It's as if as though I'm standing at her front door
Sensory perception of being near the woman's house.
I can hear that doggone plain
Hearing sounds distinctly, indicating proximity.
Now I'll be so glad to see my baby
Anticipation of reuniting with the beloved.
And hold her in my arms
Desire to embrace and hold the woman.
Now when I kiss her lips
Expectation of a passionate kiss.
I turn a back over flip and I'll forget these feet of mine
Expectation of feeling overwhelmed with joy upon seeing her.
I got to keep on walkin'
Reaffirmation of the need to continue despite exhaustion.
I got to walk on oh ho ho
Reiteration of the need to keep walking.
I, I, I, I, I'm so tired but I just can't lose my stride
Despite exhaustion, determination to maintain pace.
Walk on let me tell you ya'll I, I, I, I, I, I'm so tired
Continued struggle with fatigue but maintaining determination.
But I just can't lose my stride
Repeated resolve to keep going despite tiredness.
Come on feet don't fail me now
Urging his feet to continue supporting him.
I got ten more miles to go
Remaining distance yet to be covered.
I got nine, eight, seven, six, eight, six
Counting down the remaining miles.
I got a five more miles to go
Mistakenly counting numbers out of order.
Now over the hill just around the bend
Despite exhaustion, recognizing the proximity of the destination.
Huh although my feet are tired I can't lose my stride
Despite fatigue, determined to maintain pace and reach the woman.
I got to get to my baby again
Reiteration of the strong desire to reunite with the woman.
