You Came a Long Way From St. Louis Lyrics

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 'til 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 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
My, how you've come up
Mm, you really come on
May I 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 got news for you, I'm from Missouri too
So 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 left St. Louis far behind
Keep this little thought in mind
You still got a long way to go!
