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

[Terri1964]

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.
