Now every time I ask you where you gone
You wave bye bye and you blow your horn
You been ridin' around in your Cadillac
It feels like you're never ever comin' back
You been gone so long
You been gone too long
You been gone so long
It feels like you're never comin' home
Verse (percussive down stroke with rake up holding on the 1)
I need somebody who treats me right
Keeps me warm in my bed at night
I'll do anything, baby, that you ask me to
Just come right home, honey, when you're through
You been gone so long
You been gone too long
You been gone so long
It feels like you're never comin' home
Solo ( Straight 12 bar)
Verse (percussive down stroke with rake up holding on the 1)
I drive all night and part of the day
All for the love of the blues I play
But the only thing that keeps me sane
Is drivin' down the Bayou in the pourin' rain, y'all
You been gone so long
You been gone too long
You been gone so long
It feels like you're never comin' home
Solo (Straight 12 bar)
Outro
I been gone too long
I been gone too long
I been gone too long
Baby, baby, I been gone
I been a gone, forgone
It feels sometimes like I'm never gettin' home
