Why You Been Gone so Long Lyrics


Every time it rains Lord I run to my window
All I do is just ring my hands and moan
Listen to that thunder roll can't hear that lonesome wind moan
Tell me baby, now why you been gone so long?Tell me baby, now why you been gone so long?
You been gone so long now
Tell me baby, now why you been gone so long?The wolf is scratchin' at my door, Lord
Lord, well, I hear that lonesome wind moan
Tell me baby, why you been gone so long?
Somebody said they thought they saw you roaring down in Reno
With a big ole man from San Antoine
They tell me I'm a fool to pine for you, well, what do they know
Tell me baby, now why you been gone so long?Tell me baby, now why you been gone so long
You been gone so long nowTell me baby now why you been gone so long
The wolf is scratchin' at my door Lord
Lord and I can hear that lonesome wind moan
Tell me baby now why you been gone so longAin't nothin' I wanna do Lord I guess I could get stoned
Let the past paint pictures in my head
Kill a fifth of Thunderbird and try to write a sad song

Tell me baby, now why you been gone so longTell me baby, now why you been gone so long
You been gone so long now
Tell me baby, now why you been gone so long
The wolf is scratchin' at my door Lord
Lord, I can hear that lonesome wind moan
Yeah, tell me baby now why you been gone so longThe wolf is scratchin' at my door Lord
Lord, I can hear that lonesome wind moan
Tell me baby, now why you been gone so long
