Lyric 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 flashy foreign 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 doin all right
Till you came on the scene!

You blew in from the middle-west
And certainly impressed
The population here-abouts . . .
Well baby, I got news for you,
I m from Missouri too,
So, naturally, I got my doubts!

You got em droppin by the way-side,
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!



My, how you come up!
Hmmm, you really come on!



Hey, I ll have your address!
St. Louis woman,
You re a St. Louis doll!



You blew in from the middle-west
And certainly impressed
The population here-abouts . . .
Well baby, I ve got news for you,
I m from Missouri too,
So, naturally, I got my doubts!

You got em droppin by the way-side,
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 left St. Louis far behind,
Keep this little thought in mind,
You still . . . got a long way to go!
