I keep thinkin' any minute you'll be comin' home honey,
I ain't seen nothin' of you in a month of Sundays.
tell me, how long gone are you gonna be?

All you said was you had to get goin'.
Oh, but baby, I wouldn't mind knowin'
Just, how long gone are you gonna be?

[CHORUS]
How am I supposed to make any plans
When I still don't even understand
If you're ever gonna come back home to me?
Tell me please!
How long gone are you gonna be?

Maybe I didn't pay enough attention,
but I do believe you forgot to mention
Just how long gone are you gonna be?

The phone ain't ringin', because you ain't callin'.
I ain't been hearin' your footsteps fallin'.
Tell me, how long gone are you gonna be?

Girl, [REPEAT CHORUS]

Yeah, [REPEAT CHORUS]

Tell me; how long gone are you gonna be?
