Why you been gone so long jessi colter lyrics

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

This song is from the album "A Country Star Is Born".

Russia is waging a disgraceful war on Ukraine.     Stand With Ukraine!

Why You Been Gone So Long

✕

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

Jessi Colter Lyrics

"Why You Been Gone So Long"

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
