Well every time it rains Lord I run to my window

All I do is ring my hands and mourn

Well listen to that thunder roar

Can't you 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

Wolfs scratchin at my door lord Lord

I can hear that lonesome wind blow

Tell me baby now why you been gone so long



Well someone said they thought they saw you rollin down in Reno

With a big ol man from San Antone

They tell me I'm a fool to pine for you oh what do they know

Tell me baby now why you been gone so long



Ain't nothin I want to do lord

So I guess I could get stoned

And let the past paint pictures in my head

Drink a fifth of thunderbird and try to write a sad sad song

Tell my baby now why you been gone so long
