Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Every time it rains, I run to my window
And all I do is wring my hands and moan
And listen to that thunder, can't you hear that lonesome wind moan?
Now tell me, baby, why you been gone so long?
[Verse 2]
Tell me, baby, why you been go so long? You been gone so long now
Tell me, baby, why you been gone so long?
Wolf's scratching at my door, Lord, can't you hear that lonesome wind moan?
Tell me, baby, why you been gone so long?
[Verse 3]
Nothing here to do, but I guess I could get stoned
And let the past paint pictures in my head
And kill a fifth of Thunderbird, and try to write a sad, sad song
Tell me, baby, why you been gone so long?
[Verse 4]
Tell me, baby, why you been go so long? You been gone so long now
Tell me, baby, why you been gone so long?
Wolf's scratching at my door, Lord, can't you hear that lonesome wind moan?
Tell me, baby, why you been gone so long?
[Verse 5]
Tell me, baby, why you been go so long? You been gone so long now
Tell me, baby, why you been gone so long?
Wolf's scratching at my door, Lord, can't you hear that lonesome wind moan?
Tell me, baby, why you been gone so long?
Tell me, baby, why you been gone so long?
