You Came a Long Way From St Louis

You came a long way from St. Louis

You climbed the ladder of success

I've seen the Town & Country cars

That were parked out in front of your fancy address

You came a long way from St. Louis

You broke a lot of hearts between

I've seen a gang of gloomy guys

Who were doin' all right till you came on the scene

You blew in from the West

And certainly impressed

The population hereabouts

Well, baby, I've got news for you

I'm from Missouri, too

So naturally I've got my doubts

You've got them dropping by the wayside

A feeling I ain't gonna know

You came a long way from St. Louis

But, baby, you've still got a long, long, long way to go

You blew in from the West

And certainly impressed

The population hereabouts

Well, baby, I've got news for you

I'm from Missouri, too

So naturally I've got my doubts

You've got them dropping by the wayside

A feeling I ain't gonna know

You came a long way from St. Louis

But, baby, you've still got a long way to go

You know the folks in St. Louis

Know all about you

But don't forget I'm from Missouri, too

You've got a long, long way to go
