- You Came A Long Way From St. Louis Lyrics / with translationsYou 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 seen 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 natcherly 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 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 seen a gang of gloomy gals who were doing alright
till you came on the scene.
You came here from the middle west, and certainly
Well, baby, I got news for you,
I'm from Missouri too.
So natcherly 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.
