Lyrics

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 met a gang of gloomy guys, who were doing alright Till you came on the scene You blew in from the middle west Certainly impressed The population here about Well baby I've got news for you I'm from Missouri too Naturally, I got my dots You got 'em dropping by the wayside A feeling I ain't gonna know You came a long way from St. Louis but baby You still got a long way to go You know the folks in St. Louis know all about you But they don't forget I'm from Missouri too And baby you got a long way to go
