Why You Been Gone So Long Songtext
von Johnny Darrell

Every time it rains Lard I run to my window
All I do is ring my hands and moan
Listen to that thunder roll and I can hear that lonesome wind blow
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
Wolf is scratching at my door and I can hear that lonesome wind moan
Tell me baby why you been gone so long


Someone said they thought they saw you roaring down in Reno
With a big oil man from San Antone
They tell me I′m a fool to pine for you but what do they know
Tell me baby why you been gone so long

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

There ain't nothing I wanna do oh I guess I could get stoned
And let the past paint pictures on my head
Kill a fifth of Thunderbird and try to write a sad song
Tell me baby why you been gone so long

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