25 Miles
Stride of Love: Journeying 25 Miles for a Wild Kind of Lovin'
Lyrics
Hey hey uh huh huh huh huh oh
Expression of excitement or affirmation
Uh huh huh huh huh huh yeah
Continuation of excitement or affirmation
It's twenty five miles from home
Establishing the distance from home
Girl, my feet are hurting mighty bad
Physical discomfort, likely from walking
Now I've been walking a three day, two lonely nights
Duration of the journey, expressing loneliness
You know that I'm mighty mad
Acknowledging frustration and anger
But I got a woman waiting for me
Positive anticipation of reuniting with a woman
That's gonna make this trip worthwhile
Belief that the journey will be worthwhile
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
Impact of the woman's love on a man
So I got to keep on walkin'
Commitment to continue the journey
I got to walk on, oh ho ho
Expressing determination to keep moving forward
I, I, I, I'm so tired
Acknowledging fatigue
But I just can't lose my stride
Determination to maintain a steady pace
I got fifteen miles to go now
Remaining distance to cover
And I can hear my baby calling my name
Hearing the woman's call, motivation to continue
It's as if as though I'm standing at her front door
Feeling close to the destination
I can hear that doggone plain
Clear perception of the woman's call
Now I'll be so glad to see my baby
Anticipation of reuniting with the woman
And hold her in my arms
Expressing the desire to hold the woman
Now when I kiss her lips
Positive reaction to kissing the woman
I turn a back over flip and I'll forget these feet of mine
Extreme joy and forgetfulness of physical strain
I got to keep on walkin'
Reaffirming the commitment to continue walking
I got to walk on oh ho ho
Continued determination despite fatigue
I, I, I, I, I'm so tired but I just can't lose my stride
Repetition of fatigue, yet maintaining stride
Walk on let me tell you ya'll I, I, I, I, I, I'm so tired
Emphasizing tiredness but resolve to continue
But I just can't lose my stride
Reiteration of determination to maintain stride
Come on feet don't fail me now
Encouragement for the feet to keep moving
I got ten more miles to go
Specifying the remaining distance to cover
I got nine, eight, seven, six, eight, six
Countdown of miles, emphasizing progress
I got a five more miles to go
Repetition of the remaining distance
Now over the hill just around the bend
Overcoming challenges, determination to reach the destination
Huh although my feet are tired I can't lose my stride
Resilience despite fatigue, maintaining stride
I got to get to my baby again
Reaffirming the goal to reunite with the woman
