Lyrics
You came a long way from St. Louis
And climbed the ladder of success
I 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 met a gang of gloomy guys
That were doing alright 'til you came on the scene
You blew in from the Middle West
Certainly impressed the population hereabouts
Well, baby, I got news for you
I'm from Missouri too
Naturally I got my doubts
You got 'em droppin' by the wayside
A feelin' I ain't gonna know
You came a long way from St. Louis
But baby, you still got a long way to go
You blew in from the Middle West
Certainly impressed the population hereabouts
Well, baby, I got news for you
I'm from Missouri too
Naturally I got my doubts
You got 'em droppin' by the wayside
A feelin' I ain't gonna know
You came a long way from St. Louis
But baby, you still got a long way to go
The folks in St. Louis know all about you
But don't forget I'm from Missouri too
And baby, you got a long way to go
You got a long way to go, now
Oh, it's a long way to go
You got a long way to go, now
