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
