Everytime it rains Lord I stand at my window All I do is wring my hands and moan Can you hear the thunder roar Can you hear that Lonesome wind blow Tell me baby why you been gone so long Tell me baby why you been gone so long, been gone so long Tell me baby why you been gone so long Wolf was scratchin at my door Lordy don't you hear that Lonesome wind blow Tell me baby why you been gone so long Somebody said that they thought they saw you way down in Reno With a big ol man 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 Tell me baby why you been gone so long, been gone so long Tell me baby why you been gone so long Wolf was scratchin at my door Lordy don't you hear that Lonesome wind blow Tell me baby why you been gone so long I guess there's nothing left for me to do but go get stoned Let the past paint pictures through my head Might drink a fifth of Thunderbird and try to write a sad song Tell me baby why you been gone so long
