Lyrics WHY YOU BEEN GONE SO LONG - Don Gibson

WHY YOU BEEN GONE SO LONG

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
