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 supposed to make any plans When I still don't even understand If you're ever gonna come back home to me 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 still ain't callin' I ain't been hearin' your footsteps fallin' Tell me how long gone are you gonna be 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 Tell me how long gone are you gonna be
