Lyrics:

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
