Why You Been Gone So Long lyrics

Every time it rains Lord I run to my window

All I do is ring my hands and moan

The wolf is scratching at my door and I can hear the lonesome wind moan

Tell me baby, why you been gone so long

Tell me baby, why you been gone so long you been gone so long now

Tell me baby, why you been gone so long

Well the wolf he scratches at my door and I can hear the lonesome wind moan

Tell me baby, why you been gone so long

Someone said they thought they saw you roaring down in Reno

With a little girl from San Antone

They say I'm a fool to pine for you hey but what do they know

Tell me baby, why you been gone so long

Tell me baby, why you been gone so long you been gone so long now

Tell me baby, why you been gone so long

Well the wolf he scratches at my door and I can hear the lonesome wind moan

Tell me baby, why you been gone so long

Nothing I want to do oh I guess I could get stoned

And let that past paint pictures on my head

I could kill a fifth of Thunderbird, write myself a sad song

Tell me baby, why you been gone so long
