You Came a Long Way from St. Louis

You Came a Long Way from St. Louis - Etta Jones

You came a long way from St Louis

You climbed the ladder of success

I've seen the flashy foreign 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've met a gang of gloomy guys

Who were doing all right

Till you came on the scene

You blew in from the middle-west

And certainly impressed

The population here-abouts

Well baby I got news for you

I'm from Missouri too

So naturally I got my doubts

You got 'em dropping by the way-side

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

The population here-abouts

Well baby I've got news for you

I'm from Missouri too

So naturally I got my doubts

You got 'em dropping by the way-side

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

But baby you still got a long way to go

You came a long way from St Louis

But baby you still got a long way to go
