Why You Been Gone So Long Lyrics

Jessi Colter Why You Been Gone So Long

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
