25 Miles
Love's Journey: A 25-Mile Stride for True Devotion
Lyrics
Hey hey uh huh huh huh huh oh
Expressing excitement or acknowledgment
Uh huh huh huh huh huh yeah
Reiteration of excitement or acknowledgment
It's twenty five miles from home
Stating the distance from home
Girl, my feet are hurting mighty bad
Describing physical discomfort, likely from walking
Now I've been walking a three day, two lonely nights
Detailing a long and tiring journey
You know that I'm mighty mad
Expressing frustration or anger
But I got a woman waiting for me
Mentioning a woman waiting at the destination
That's gonna make this trip worthwhile
Believing the trip will be worthwhile because of the woman
You see she's got the kind of lovin' and a kissing
Describing the woman's affectionate qualities
A make a man go stone wild
Highlighting the impact of the woman's love
So I got to keep on walkin'
Expressing the determination to continue walking
I got to walk on, oh ho ho
Reiterating the commitment to keep walking
I, I, I, I'm so tired
Conveying exhaustion
But I just can't lose my stride
Asserting the resolve to persevere despite fatigue
I got fifteen miles to go now
Stating the remaining distance to travel
And I can hear my baby calling my name
Noticing the call from the lover
It's as if as though I'm standing at her front door
Feeling the lover's presence as if at the front door
I can hear that doggone plain
Emphasizing the clarity of hearing the lover
Now I'll be so glad to see my baby
Anticipating joy at seeing the lover
And hold her in my arms
Desiring to embrace the lover
Now when I kiss her lips
Expressing excitement about kissing the lover
I turn a back over flip and I'll forget these feet of mine
Imagining forgetting the physical exhaustion in the lover's arms
I got to keep on walkin'
Reiterating the determination to keep walking
I got to walk on oh ho ho
Reaffirming the commitment to continue walking
I, I, I, I, I'm so tired but I just can't lose my stride
Repeating the sense of exhaustion but with resolve
Walk on let me tell you ya'll I, I, I, I, I, I'm so tired
Reiteration of being tired but determined
But I just can't lose my stride
Stating the persistence despite fatigue
Come on feet don't fail me now
Encouraging the feet to persevere
I got ten more miles to go
Noting the remaining distance to cover
I got nine, eight, seven, six, eight, six
Counting down the miles to the destination
I got a five more miles to go
Indicating a small remaining distance
Now over the hill just around the bend
Describing the physical challenge of the journey
Huh although my feet are tired I can't lose my stride
Emphasizing determination despite tiredness
I got to get to my baby again
Expressing the urgency to reach the lover
