You Came a Long Way from St. Louis

"You Came a Long Way from St. Louis" is a popular song composed by John Benson Brooks, with lyrics by Bob Russell. The lyric is addressed to a social climber from St. Louis, as seen by a fellow Missourian who concludes, "You came a long way from St. Louis / But, baby, you still got a long way to go."
