Why You Been Gone So Long? Lyrics - Singles - Carl Perkins

Every time it rains, baby, I run to my window 

And all I do is rain my hands and moan 

I listen to that thunder roll 

Can't you hear that 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, girl 

Tell me, baby, why you been gone so long? 

Wolves are scratchin' 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 roarin' down in Reno 

With a big old dude from San Antone 

They asked me, I'm a fool for you 

And I guess I am, 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, girl 

Tell me, baby, why you been gone so long? 

Wolves are scratchin' at my door 

And I can hear that lonesome wind moan 

Tell me, baby, why you been gone so long? Yeah 

There ain't nothing I would not do, oh yeah 

I guess, I'd get stoned 

And let the past paint pictures in my head 

Kill a fifth of a thunderbird 

And then try to write a sad song 

And tell me, baby, why you been gone so long? 

Tell me, baby, why you been gone so long? 

You been gone so long, girl 

Tell me, baby, why you been gone so long? 

Wolves are scratchin' at my door 

And I can hear that lonesome wind moan 

Tell me, baby, why you been gone so long? 

Come on, baby 

Tell me baby, baby, why you been gone so long?
