Brooks & Dunn – How Long Gone, is a song written by Shawn Camp and John Scott Sherrill and recorded by American country music duo Brooks & Dunn. It was released in June 1998 as the second single from their 1998 album If You See Her. The song reached number one on the US Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) chart in September 1998.
The music video was directed by Steven Goldmann. The video starts out with a woman running out of the house, then with the duo playing while spinning around the house with everything rotting, and clocks with their hands turning quickly. At the end, the duo fades away into dust particles, and the house appears to have rotted out, and the pages on the calendar that was flipping throughout the video are all gone.

Brooks & Dunn – How Long Gone Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
How’m 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
[Verse 3]
Maybe I didn’t pay enough attention
But I do believe you forgot to mention
Just how long gone are you gonna be
[Verse 4]
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
[Chorus]
How’m 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
[Interlude]
Yeah, how’m 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
[Outro]
Tell me, how long gone are you gonna be
GENIUS
