You Came a Long Way from St. Louis - Marvin Gaye
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 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.
