    Question Solved: Who is the artist, what is the title?

    I grew up in the late 60's / early 70's -- I loved a Mowtown song that I cannot recall the name of the band who sings it, or even the correct title of the the song ! All I can remember are some lyrics:

    I'm 25 miles from home yeah
    my feet are hurtin mighty bad
    (I forget the next 2 lines)
    so I gotta keep on walkin
    got to keep on walkin
    ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
    ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

    WHO DID THIS AND WHAT IS THE TITLE ?? HELP ME !

    25 Miles by Edwin Starr, Michael Jackson, others

    Hey hey uh huh huh huh huh oh
    Uh huh huh huh huh huh yeah
    It's twenty five miles from home
    Girl, my feet are hurting mighty bad
    Now I've been walking a three day, two lonely nights
    You know that I'm mighty mad
    But I got a woman waiting for me
    That's gonna make this trip worthwhile
    You see she's got the kind of lovin' and a kissing
    A make a man go stone wild
    So I got to keep on walkin'
    I got to walk on, oh ho ho
    I, I, I, I'm so tired
    But I just can't lose my stride

    I got fifteen miles to go now
    And I can hear my baby calling my name
    It's as if as though I'm standing at her front door
    I can hear that doggone plain
    Now I'll be so glad to see my baby
    And hold her in my arms
    Now when I kiss her lips
    I turn a back over flip and I'll forget these feet of mine
    I got to keep on walkin'
    I got to walk on oh ho ho
    I, I, I, I, I'm so tired but I just can't lose my stride
    Walk on let me tell you ya'll I, I, I, I, I, I'm so tired
    But I just can't lose my stride
    Come on feet don't fail me now
    I got ten more miles to go
    I got nine, eight, seven, six, eight, six
    I got a five more miles to go
    Now over the hill just around the bend
    Huh although my feet are tired I can't lose my stride
    I got to get to my baby again

    Thanks Logan01. I wish I had found this forum earlier ! It would have saved me from those nagging thoughts you get when you just can't put your finger on it.
