Mary Wells - You Came A Long Way From St. Louis lyrics

[Chorus 1] St. Louis woman, with your diamond rings St. Louis man, you just don't mean a thing [Verse] 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 seen a gang of gloomy girls Who were doing alright until you came on the scene [Chorus 2] You blew in from the Middle West And certainly impressed the population hereabouts Now listen, I got news for you, I'm from Missouri too So naturally I got my doubts You got them dropping by the wayside A feeling I ain't going to know You came a long way from St. Louis And you still got a long way to go [Chorus 1] [Chorus 2]
