Why You Been Gone So Long lyrics

Every time it rains, I run to my window
All I do is wring my hands and mouth
Wolf was scratching at my door, Lord God
I can hear that lonesome wind mourn
Tell me lover why you've been gone so long?

Tell me lover why you've been gone so long?
Tell me lover why you've been gone so long?
Wolf was scratching at my door, Lord God
I can hear that lonesome wind mourn
Tell me lover why you've been gone so long?

Somebody said they though they saw you rolling out in Reno
With a red haired girl from San Anton
They tell me I'ma fool, fine for you, but what do they know?
Tell me lover why you've been gone so long?

Tell me lover why you've been gone so long?
Tell me lover why you've been gone so long?
Wolf was scratching at my door, Lord God
I can hear that lonesome wind mourn
Tell me lover why you've been gone so long?

Ain't nothin' I wanna do, I guess I could go home
Let that honey suckle wind blow right through my head
Jump in my old Chevy and chase that freight train down
But tell me hon' [Incomprehensible]

Tell me lover why you've been gone so long?
Tell me lover why you've been gone so long?
Wolf was scratching at my door, Lord God
I can hear that lonesome wind mourn
Tell me lover why you've been gone so long?

Tell me lover why you've been gone so long?
Tell me lover why you've been gone so long?
Wolf was scratching at my door, Lord God
I can hear that lonesome wind mourn
Tell me lover why you've been gone so long?

Tell me lover why you've been gone so long?
Tell me lover why you've been gone so long?
Wolf was scratching at my door, Lord God
I can hear that lonesome wind mourn
Tell me lover why you've been gone so long?

Tell me lover why you've been gone so long?
Tell me lover why you've been gone so long?
Wolf was scratching at my door, Lord God
I can hear that lonesome wind mourn
Tell me lover why you've been gone so long?

Tell me lover why you've been gone so long?
