Why You Been Gone So Long

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 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?
 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?
 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?
