Chuck Berry - You Came a Long Way from St Louis lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 Until you came on the scene! [Pre-Chorus] 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! [Chorus] You got them dropping by the way-side A feeling I am not going to know You came a long way from St. Louis But baby, you still got a long way to go! [Bridge] 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! [Pre-Chorus] [Chorus] [Outro] You left St. Louis far behind Keep this little thought in mind You still ... got a long way to go!
