Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I keep thinkin' any minute you'll be comin' home, honey
I ain't seen nothin' of you in a month of Sundays
Tell me how long gone you gonna be?
[Verse 2]
All you said was you had to get goin'
Oh, but, baby, I wouldn't mind knowin'
How long gone you gonna be?
[Chorus]
How am I supposed to make any plans
When I still don't even understand
If you're even gonna come back home to me?
Tell me, please
How long gone you gonna be?
[Verse 3]
Maybe I didn't pay enough attention
But I do believe you forgot to mention
Just how long gone you were gonna be
[Verse 4]
Well, the phone ain't ringin' 'cause you ain't callin'
I ain't been hearin' your footsteps fallin'
Tell me, how long gone are you gonna be?
[Chorus]
Yeah, how am I supposed to make any plans
When I still don't even understand
If you're ever gonna come back home to me?
Tell me, please
How long gone are you gonna be?
Oh, how long gone are you gonna be?
[Outro]
How long gone are you gonna be?
How long gone are you gonna be?
How long gone are you gonna be?
Oh, how long gone are you gonna be?
How long gone are you gonna be?
I said, how long gone are you gonna be?
Baby, how long gone are you gonna be?
Baby, how long gone are you gonna be?
