worthwhileYou see, she's got the kindOf lovin' and
kissin'Make a boy go stone wildI got to keep on

got fifteen miles to go nowAnd I can hear my baby callin' my
nameIt's as if, as thoughI'm standin' at her front
doorAnd I can hear that doggone thingNow I'll be so glad to
see my babyAnd hold her in my arms one more timeAnd when I kiss
her lipsI turn backward flipAnd I forget about these feet of
