Every time it rains
Lord I run
To my window
All I do is just wring
My hands and moan
And listen to that thunder
Lord
Can't you hear
That wind moan?
Tell me baby
Why you've been gone so long?
Tell me baby
Why you've been gone so long?
You've been gone so long now
Tell me baby
Why you've been gone so long?
A wolf is scratching
At my door
And I can hear
That lonesome wind moan
Tell me baby
Now why you've been gone so long?
Somebody said they thought they saw you roaring down in Reno
With a big ol' man from San Anton
They tell me I'm a fool, fine for you but what do they know?
Tell me baby now why you've been gone so long?
Tell me baby now why you've been gone so long?
You've been gone so long now
Tell me baby now why you've been gone so long?
A wolf is scratching at my door, Lord, Lord
And I can hear that lonesome wind moan
Tell me baby now why you've been gone so long?
Ain't nothin' I wanna do Lord, so I guess I could get stoned
And let the past paint pictures in my head
And kill a fifth of a thunderbird Lord and try to write a sad, sad song
Tell me baby now why you've been gone so long?
Tell me baby now why you've been gone so long?
You've been gone so long now
Tell me baby now why you've been gone so long?
A wolf is scratching at my door, Lord, Lord
And I can hear that lonesome wind moan
Tell me baby now why you've been gone so long?
Tell me baby now why you've been gone so long?
