Every time it rains Lard I run to my window All I do is ring my hands and moan Listen to that thunder roll and I can hear that lonesome wind blow 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 Wolf is scratching at my door and I can hear that 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 big oil man from San Antone They tell me 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... There ain't nothing I wanna do oh I guess I could get stoned And let the past paint pictures on my head k** a fifth of Thunderbird and try to write a sad song Tell me baby why you been gone so long Tell me baby why you been gone so long... Tell me baby why you been gone so long
