Intro

Every time it rains Lord I run to my window

 All I do is ring my hands and moan

 The wolf is scratchin' at my door and I can hear the lonesome wind moan

 Tell me baby why you been gone so long

Chorus

Tell me baby why you been gone so long you been gone so long now

 Tell me baby why you been gone so long

 Well the wolf he scratches at my door and I can hear the lonesome wind moan

 Tell me baby why you been gone so long

Someone said they thought they saw you roarin' down in Reno

With a little girl from San Antone

They say I'm a fool to pine for you hey but what do they know

Tell me baby why you been gone so long

Chorus

Nothin' I wanna do oh I guess I could get stoned

And let that past paint pictures on my head

I could kill a fifth of Thunderbird, write myself a sad song

Tell me baby why you been gone so long

Chorus

Tell me baby why you been gone so long
