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 and 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 met a gang of gloomy guys who 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 dropping by the wayside

A feeling I ain't gonna know

You came a long way from St. Louis but baby

You 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

And baby, you got a long way to go
