25 Miles to Kissimmee is the sixth studio album by German pop band Fool's Garden, released in 2003.^[1][2] It is also the last album featuring all of the original members of the band.

Overview

The title track is about a girl who attempts to seduce her married passenger while she is driving them 25 miles (40 km) into a city for unspecified reasons.^{[citation needed]}

The song "Dreaming", originally released as a single in 2001, was re-recorded in 2004 for a new single release. The new version was later included as a bonus track on the band's seventh album Ready for the Real Life.

A new version of "Reason", titled "Reason 2.0", appears on the band's EP Home, with new arrangements and different verses, but with an identical chorus.
