WHY YOU BEEN GONE SO LONG - Don Gibson

every time it rains

lord i run to my window

all i do is wring my hands and moan

i listen to that thunder roar

i can hear that lonesome wind moan

tell me baby, why you been gone so long

tell me baby why you been gone so long

you been gone so long now

tell me baby why you been gone so long

wolves are scratching at my door

i can hear that lonesome wind moan

tell me baby why you been gone so long

somebody said they thought they saw you roarin' down in reno

with some big ole dude from san antone

they tell me i’m a fool to cry for you

but what do they know

tell me baby why you been gone so long

there ain’t nothin' i wanna do

i guess i’ll just go home now

and let the past paint the pictures in my head

i’ll fire up that thunderbird

and i listen to a sad song

tell me baby why you been gone so long
