You Came a Long Way from St. Louis

You Came A Long Way From St. Louis - Perry Como (佩裏·科莫)

Written by：Bob Russell/John Benzon Brooks

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 doin' 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 droppin' by the way side

A feelin' I ain't gonna know

You came a long way from St. Louis

But baby you still got a long way to go

My how you come up

Hmmm you really come on

Hey I'll have your address

St. Louis woman

You're a St. Louis doll

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 droppin' by the way side

A feelin' I ain't gonna know

You came a long way from St. Louis

But baby you still got a long way to go

You left St. Louis far behind

Keep this little thought in mind

You still got a long way to go
