"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[1] in September 1998.

Music video

[edit]

The music video was directed by Steven Goldmann. The video starts out with a woman running out of the house, then we see the duo playing while spinning around the house, and showing everything turning into rot, 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.

Cover versions

[edit]

Country music singer Jason Aldean covered the song from The Last Rodeo Tour.
