"Why Have You Been Gone So Long" lyrics - GENE PARSONS

Everytime it rains lord I run to my window
All I do is wring my hands and moan
I listen to the thunder lord I hear that lonsome wind blow
Tell me baby why you been gone so long

Tell me baby why you been gone so long you've been gone so long
Tell me baby why you been gone so long
A wolf is scratching at my door I can hear that lonseome wind blow
Tell me baby why you been gone so long

Someone said they thought they saw you rolling down in Reno
With a big old 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 you've been gone so long
Tell me baby why you been gone so long

Ain't nothing I wanna do so I guess I could get stoned
Let the past paint pictures in my head
Kill a fifth of thunderbird and try to write a sad sad song
Tell me baby why you been gone so long
