How Long Gone

Written by Shawn Camp & John Scott Sherrill
Performed by Brooks & Dunn

A generic Voyager song.  There are a lot of loved ones that were lost, after all.

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?
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?

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?
