25 Miles to Kissimmee is the sixth studio album by German pop band Fool's Garden, released in 2003. 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.

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.
