Now everytime 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 too long
You been gone so long
You been a gone, forgone
It feels like you're never gettin' home

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

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

I been gone too long
I been gone too long
I been gone so long, y'all
It feels like I'm never gettin' home

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
