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 adress
You came a long way from St. Louis
You broke a lot of hearts between
I've seen a gang of gloomy gals
Who were doin' all right til you came on the scene
Bridge
You came here from the middle West
And certainly impressed the population hereabouts
Well, baby, I got news for you
I'm from Missouri, too, so natcherly, I got my doubts
You got 'em droppin by the wayside
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
