I keep thinkin' any minute you'll be comin' home honey,

I ain;t seen nothin' of you in a month of Sundays

tell me,

how long gone are you gonna be?



all you said was you had to get goin'

oh, but baby, I wouldn't mind knowin'

just,

how long gone are you gonna be?



how am I s'posed to make any plans

when I still don't even understand

if you're ever gonna come back home to me?

tell me please

how long gone are you gonna be?



maybe I didn't pay enough attention

but I do believe you forgot to mention

just,

how long gone are you gonna be?



the phone ain't ringin' 'cause you ain't callin'

I ain't been hearin' your footsteps fallin'

tell me,

how long gone are you gonna be?



girl, repeat chorus

yeah, repeat chorus

tell me, how long gone are you gonna be
