You Came A Long Way From Saint 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 doin' all right

'Till you came on the scene



You came here from the middle-west

And natcherly impressed

The population here-abouts

Listen, baby

I got news for you

I'm from Missouri too

So, natcherly, 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 had to blow the middle-west

And natcherly impressed

The population here-about

Baby, I've got news for you

I'm from Missouri too

So, actually, I got my doubts



You got 'em fallin' 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



I love ya, I need ya, I want ya

But listen, baby, oh, listen, baby

You got a long way to go, yeah



I want ya, I need ya, I love ya

Listen, baby, come on back home

Oh, baby, you got a long way to go
