Ode to St. Louis

I'm where the two big rivers meet
The Father of Waters and Big Muddy
When are you coming to St. Louis to find me?

I hear you're getting by in the north
Those winter months will become such a bore
I think St. Louis and I are what you're longing for

'Cause my soul's sliding down
Every rung on the ladder
And I'm missing my home away from home

But April maybe you
Can pick up the pieces that were shattered
I think St. Louis is a place you won't feel alone

I'll be resting underneath the arch
Not far from where Louis me Clark
Whenever you're going to St. Louis you can't be far

They call it the gateway to the west
But staying in the middle's what I like best please
Run off to St. Louis forget the rest

And I know the distance is straining
But loving you means no complaining
And i think it's time we can make it on our own

No I don't mind the Twin Cities
You always said Chicago's so pretty
But St. Louis is a place that feels like home

'Cause my soul's sliding down
Every rung on the ladder
And I'm missing my home away from home yeah

But April maybe you
Can pick up the pieces that were shattered
I think St. Louis is a place you won't feel alone

St. Louis is a place that feels like home
