Marvin Gaye
You Came A Long Way From St. Louis
[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]
