"How Long Gone"
Song

"How Long Gone" is the title of 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 CD, If You See Her. The song reached the top of the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) chart.[1]

Music video

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, and the house appears to have rotted out, and the pages on the calendar that was flipping throughout the video are all gone.

"How Long Gone" debuted at number 70 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks for the week of June 29, 1998.
