Every time it rains, Lord, I run to my window
All I do is hang my head and moan
Listen to that thunder roar and I hear that 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
Tell me baby, why you been gone so long
The wolf is scratching at my door and
I can hear that lonesome wind moan
Tell me baby, why you been gone so long
Somebody said they saw you roaring down in Reno
With a big old man from San Antone
They say that I′m a fool to pine for you but what do they know
Tell me baby, why you been gone so long
Every time it rains, Lord, I run to my window
All I do is hang my head and moan
Listen to that thunder roar and I hear that 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
Tell me baby, why you been gone so long
The wolf is scratching at my door and
I can hear that lonesome wind moan
Tell me baby, why you been gone so long
Somebody said they saw you roaring down in Reno
With a big old man from San Antone
They say that 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 been gone so long
Tell me baby, why you been gone so long
The wolf is scratching at my door and
I can hear that lonesome wind moan
Tell me baby, why you been gone so long
Lord, there ain′t a thing to do, well I guess I'll go get stoned
Let the past paint pictures on my head
Drink a fifth of Thunderbird and I'll smoke my way back home
Tell me baby, why you been gone so long
Tell me baby, why you been gone so long
You been gone so long
Tell me baby, why you been gone so long
The wolf is scratching at my door and
I can hear that lonesome wind moan
Tell me baby, why you been gone so long
