You Came a Long Way from St Louis (Live at the Village Gate, NYC) - Chris Connor

You came a long way from St. Louis

You climbed the ladder of success

The town and country cars

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 gang of gloomy gals

Who were doing alright till you came on the scene

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

Natcherly 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 came a long way from St. Louis

You climbed the ladder of success

The town and country cars

Were parked out in front of your fancy address

You came a long way from St. Louis

You broke a lotta hearts between

Gloomy gals were doing alright

Till you came on the scene

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

Natcherly 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 got a long way to go

A long long way to go

You leave middle St. Louis

But you still got a long way to go
