Every time it rains Lord I run to my window

All I do is ring my hands and moan

I listened to that thunder roar; Can you hear the lonesome wind moan

Tell me baby why you been gone so long
[Chorus]

Someone said they thought they saw you roaring down in Reno

                             C7
With a little girl from San Antone

They tell I'm a fool to cry for you but what do they know

Tell me baby why you been gone so long

Nothin’ I wanna do so I guess I could get stoned

                                   C7
Let that past paint pictures in my head

F                               Bb             F
Kill a fifth of Thunderbird and try to write a sad song

                 C7                F
Tell me baby why you been gone so long
