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?

How am i s'posed 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' 'cause 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?
