Lyrics
You came a long way from St. Louis
You climbed the ladder of success
I've seen the town and country cars that were
Parked out in front of your fancy address
You came a long way from St. Louis
And broke a lot of hearts between
I've seen a lot of gloomy guys that were
Doin' alright 'til you came on the scene
You came here from the middle west
Certainly impressed
The population hereabouts
But baby I've got news for you
I'm from Missouri too
So naturally I've got my doubts
You got 'em droppin' by the wayside
A feelin' I don't want to know
You came a long way from St. Louis but
Baby you still got a long way to go
You came here from the middle west
Certainly impressed
The population hereabouts
But baby I've got news for you
I'm from Missouri too
So naturally I've got my doubts
You got 'em droppin' by the wayside
A feelin' I don't want to know
You came a long way from St. Louis but
Baby you still got a long way to go
