You Came a Long Way From St. Louis Songtext
von Dee Dee Sharp

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 girls
Who were doin' all right ′til you came on the scene
You blew in from the middle west
And certainly impressed
A population hereabouts
Well, baby, I've got news for you
I'm from Missouri, too
So naturally I got my doubts
You left them droppin′ 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 blew in from the middle west
And certainly impressed
A population hereabouts
Well, baby, I've got news for you
I′m from Missouri, too
So naturally I got my doubts
You left them droppin' by the wayside
A feeling I ain′t gonna know
Girl, you came a long, long way from St. Louis
Baby, but you still got a long way to go
Yeah, you came a long way from St. Louis
But, baby, you still got a long way to go
Hey, you came a long way from St. Louis
But, baby, you still got a long way to go
Hey, you came a long way from St. Louis
But, baby, you still got a long way to go
Hey, you came a long way from St. Louis
But, baby, you still got a long way to go
