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 scratchin' at my door and I can hear the lonesome wind moan

Tell me baby why you been gone so long

CHORUS:

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 roarin' 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
CHORUS

Nothin' I wanna 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

CHORUS

Tell me baby why you been gone so long
