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
'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!
≪ instrumental break >
My, how you come up!
Hmmm, you really come on!
≪ instrumental break >
Hey, I'll have your address!
St. louis woman
You're a st. louis doll!
≪ instrumental break >
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!
