FAMOUS IN MISSOURI
Robin and Linda Williams, Jerome Clark
1992 Southern Melody Pub Co /The New Music Times, Inc.
Hallnote Music Co., (BMI)

I was famous in Missouri
Everybody knew my name
Kansas City to St. Louis
They knew how well I played my game
Now it sure feels strange
To be in South Dakota, out on the range

Sometimes my heart feels heavy
Sometimes my head feels light
Sometimes I think back to Missouri
Other times I feel all right
Now it sure feels strange
To be in South Dakota, out on the range

'Cause there ain't nobody to hear it anymore
There ain't nobody here keeping score
When I look back, it seems like such a crime
To believe a woman who was lying all the time

I was famous in Missouri
I sure was fast with the deal
Long before the women and the whiskey
Made my heart forget to feel
Now it sure feels strange
To be in South Dakota, out on the range
