Why You Been Gone so Long

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?

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 Anton'

The 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?

The wolf, he scratches at my door, and I can hear

The lonesome wind moan

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

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?

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, that wolf, he scratches 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?
