(1st V.) 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' Ah! But baby,
I wouldn't mind knowin' Just how long gone are you gonna be?
(Chorus)How'm 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?
(2nd V)Maybe I didn't pay enough attention. I do believe you forgot to mention,
Just how long gone were ya gonna be.
Phone ain't ringin', 'cause you ain't callin',
I ain't been hearin' your footsteps fallin'.
Tell me, How long gone are ya gonna be? Well!!
Tell me, how long gone are you gonna be.
