Don't call my name out your window I'm leavin'
I won't even turn my head
Don't send your kinfolks to give me no talkin'
I'll be gone like I said
You'd say the same old things you been sayin' all along
Lay there in your bed and keep your mouth shot till I'm gone
Don't give me that old familiar cryin' cussin' moan
Understand your man
Tidy your bad mouth and understand your man
[ guitar - trumpet ]
You can give my other suit to the Salvation Army
And everything else I leave behind
I ain't takin' nothin' that'll slow down my traveling
While I'm untangling my mind
I ain't goin' to repear what I said anymore
While I'm breathing air that ain't been breathed before
I'll be as gone as a wild goose in winter
Then you'll understand your man
Better tided understand your man
Look out understand your man
Uh huh understand your man
