You Came A Long Way From St. Louis
by John Brooks & Bob Russell
1948

lyrics

- - - - -
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 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!
