Every time it rains, Lord,
And all I do is wring my hands and moan
Listen to that thunder roll,
I can hear that lonesome wind blow
Tell me, baby, why you been gone so long
you've been gone so long now
Wolf was scratching at my door
and I could hear that lonesome wind blow
With a big ol' dude from San Antonio
They tell me I'm a fool, fine for you
why you been gone so long?
Just tell me baby why you've
you've been gone so long now
Wolf is scratching at my door
and I can hear that lonesome wind blow
There ain't nothin' I wanna do
so guests could get stoned
Let the past paint pictures on my head
Kill a fifth of thunderbirds
Try to write me a sad song
Tell me, baby, why you been gone so long
you've been gone so long now
Wolf is scratching at my door
and I can hear that long so long
Tell me baby why you've been gone
