You Came a Long Way from St. Louis - Carol Welsman

Lyrics by：John Benson Brooks/Sidney Keith Russell

Composed by：John Benson Brooks/Sidney Keith Russell

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 lotta hearts between

I've seen a lot of gloomy gals

Who were doing alright till you came on the scene

You blow from the middle west

And certainly impressed the population hereabouts

Well baby I got news for you

I'm from Missouri too

So naturally I got my doubts

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 blow here from the middle west

And certainly impressed the population hereabouts

Well baby I got news for you

I'm from Missouri too

So naturally I got my doubts

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 fort in ST Louis

Know about you

The don't forget I'm from Missouri to

And baby

You have got along

You got along away to go

You came long long long away

You got along away to go
