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
|
