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 guys, who were doing alright
Till you came on the scene
You blew in from the middle west
Certainly impressed
The population here abouts
Well baby I've got news for you
I'm from Missouri too
Naturally, I got my dots
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 folks in St. Louis know all about you
But don't forget I'm from Missouri too
And baby you got a long way to go
