  • 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 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 Writer/s: John Scott Sherrill, Shawn Camp
