Famous in Missouri

(Robin Williams - Jerome Clark)



Hey, I was famous in Missouri

Everybody knew my name

From Kansas City to St Louis

They knew how well I played my game

Now it sure feels strange

To be in South Dakota out on the range.



Sometimes my heart feels heavy

Sometimes my head feels light

Sometimes I think back to Missouri

And other times I feel all right

But it sure feels strange

To be in South Dakota out on the range.



'Cause there ain't nobody to hear it anymore

And there ain't nobody out here keepin' score

And when I look back it seems like such a crime

To believe a woman who was lyin' all the time.



Hey, I was famous in Missouri

I sure was fast with a deal

Long before the women and the whiskey

Made my heart forget to feel

And it sure feels strange

To be in South Dakota out on the range.



Yeah, it sure feels strange

To be in South Dakota out on the range...
