Every time it rains, Lord,
All I do is wring my hands and moan
Listen to that thunder roar,
I can hear that lonesome wind moan
why you been gone so long?
Tell me, baby, why you been gone so long?
You been gone so long now
why you been gone so long?
There's a scratchin' at my door
I can hear that lonely wind blow
why you been gone so long?
Somebody said they thought
With some big ol' dude from San Antonio
Tell me I'm a fool to cry for you
Tell me baby why you been gone so long
Tell me baby why you've been gone so long,
you've been gone so long now
The woods are scratching at my door,
I can hear that long -awaited moan
Tell me baby why you've been gone
There ain't nothin' I wanna do
I guess I'll just go on now
Like the fast paced pictures in my head
I fire up that thunderbird
You've been gone so long now
The wolves are scratching at my door
I can hear that long -awaited moan
why you been gone so long?
why you been gone so long?
