Every time it rains
Lord I run to my window
All I do is ring my hands and moan
The wolf is scratching
At my door and I can hear
The 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
Well the wolf he scratches at my door
And I can hear
The 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 little girl
From San Antone
They say
I'm a fool to pine for you
Hey but what do they know
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
Well the wolf he scratches at my door
And I can hear
The lonesome wind moan
Tell me baby
Why you been gone so long
Nothing I want to do
Oh I guess I could
Get stoned
And let that past
Paint pictures on
My head
I could kill a fifth of Thunderbird
Write myself a sad song
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
Well the wolf he scratches at my door
And I can hear
The lonesome wind moan
Tell me baby
Why you been gone so long
Tell me baby
Why you been gone so long
