Every time it rains, I run to my window

All I do is wring my hands and mouth

Wolf was scratching at my door, Lord God

I can hear that lonesome wind mourn

Tell me lover why you've been gone so long?



Tell me lover why you've been gone so long?

Tell me lover why you've been gone so long?

Wolf was scratching at my door, Lord God

I can hear that lonesome wind mourn

Tell me lover why you've been gone so long?



Somebody said they though they saw you rolling out in Reno

With a red haired girl from San Anton

They tell me I'ma fool, fine for you, but what do they know?

Tell me lover why you've been gone so long?



Tell me lover why you've been gone so long?

Tell me lover why you've been gone so long?

Wolf was scratching at my door, Lord God

I can hear that lonesome wind mourn

Tell me lover why you've been gone so long?



Ain't nothin' I wanna do, I guess I could go home

Let that honey suckle wind blow right through my head

Jump in my old Chevy and chase that freight train down

But tell me hon' [Incomprehensible]



Tell me lover why you've been gone so long?

Tell me lover why you've been gone so long?

Wolf was scratching at my door, Lord God

I can hear that lonesome wind mourn

Tell me lover why you've been gone so long?



Tell me lover why you've been gone so long?

Tell me lover why you've been gone so long?

Wolf was scratching at my door, Lord God

I can hear that lonesome wind mourn

Tell me lover why you've been gone so long?



Tell me lover why you've been gone so long?

Tell me lover why you've been gone so long?

Wolf was scratching at my door, Lord God

I can hear that lonesome wind mourn

Tell me lover why you've been gone so long?



Tell me lover why you've been gone so long?

Tell me lover why you've been gone so long?

Wolf was scratching at my door, Lord God

I can hear that lonesome wind mourn

Tell me lover why you've been gone so long?



Tell me lover why you've been gone so long?
