You Came a Long Way from St. Louis

You Came a Long Way from St. Louis - June Christy

Written by：Bob Russell/John Benson Brooks

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've know 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 hereabouts

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 and belong 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 hereabouts

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

Yes

You've got a long long way to go
