You been gone so (D)long now Tell me baby, why you been gone (A7)so long? A (D)wolfs scratching at my door, Lord, Lord And I can (G)hear that lonesome (D)wind blow Tell me, baby, (A7)why you been gone(D) so long? Well someone said they thought they saw you rollin down in Reno With a big ol man from San Antone They tell me I’m a fool to pine for you oh what do they know Tell me baby now why you been gone so long Ain’t nothin I want to do lord So I guess I could get stoned And let the past paint pictures in my head Drink a fifth of thunderbird and try to write a sad sad song Tell my baby now why you been gone so long ![]() |
