Why You Been Gone So Long (featuring Jimmy Hall)

Why You’ve Been Gone So Long

Every time it rains Lord I run to my window
All I do is just wring my hands and moan
And listen to that thunder roll
Can't you hear that lonesome wind blow
Tell me baby now why you've been gone so long

Well
Tell me baby now why you've been gone so long
You've been gone so long now
Tell me baby now why you've been gone so long
The wolf is scratching at my door, Lordy, Lordy
I can hear that lonesome wind blow
Tell me baby now why you've been gone so long

Somebody said they thought they saw you roaring down in Reno
With a big ol' man from San Anton
They tell me I'm a fool to cry for you, ah but what do they know
Tell me baby now why you've been gone so long
I wanna know

Tell me baby now why you've been gone so long
You've been gone so long now
Tell me baby now why you've been gone so long
The wolf is scratching at my door, Lordy, Lordy
I can hear that lonesome wind blow
Tell me baby now why you've been gone so long
Come on

Ain't nothin' I wanna do Lord, I guess I’ll get stoned
let the past paint pictures in my head
kill a fifth of a thunderbird
Lord and try to write a sad, sad song
Tell me baby now why you've been gone so long
Yeah

Tell me baby now why you've been gone so long
You've been gone so long now
Tell me baby now why you've been gone so long
The wolf is scratching at my door, Lordy, Lordy
I can hear that lonesome wind blow
Tell me baby now why you've been gone so long
Whew

Well
Tell me baby now why you've been gone so long
You've been gone so long now
Tell me baby now why you've been gone so doggone long
The wolf is scratching at my door, Lordy, Lordy
I can hear that lonesome wind blow
Tell me baby now why you've been gone so long
I wanna know
Tell me baby now why you've been gone so long
Hey
Tell me baby now why you've been gone so long
Whew……..
Long time
