Why You Been Gone So Long Lyrics

Everytime it rains Lord I stand at my window
All I do is wring my hands and moan
Can you hear the thunder roar
Can you hear that Lonesome wind blow
Tell me baby why you been gone so long

Tell me baby why you been gone so long, been gone so long
Tell me baby why you been gone so long
Wolf was scratchin at my door Lordy don't you hear that
lonesome wind blow
Tell me baby why you been gone so long

Somebody said that they thought they saw you way down in Reno
With a big ol man from San Antone
They tell me I'm a fool to cry for you but what do they know
Tell me baby why you been gone so long

I guess there's nothing left for me to do but go get stoned
Let the past paint pictures through my head
Might drink a fifth of Thunderbird and try to write a sad song
Tell me baby why you been gone so long.
