You Came a Long Way from St. Louis - Joanie Sommers

Written By：John B. Brooks/Bob 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 met 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

So naturely 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

I've seen the town and country cars that were parked

Out in front of your fancy address

You came a long way

You came a long way

You broke a lotta hearts lotta hearts lotta hearts

I've met 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 here abouts

Well baby I got news for you

I'm from Missouri too

And naturely I got my doubts

You've got 'em dropping dropping dropping by the wayside

A feeling I ain't gonna know

You came a long way from St. Louis

But baby you still got such a long way to go

You came a long way from baby

You still got a long way to go
