Lyrics

Don't call my name out your window, i'm leavin'
I won't even turn my head
Don't sent your kinfolk to give me no talkin'
I'll be gone, like I said

You'd just say the same old things
That you be sayin' all along
Just lay there in your bed and keep your mouth shut
Till i'm gone
Don't give me that old familiar cryin cussin' moan

Understand your man
I'm tired of you bad mouthing
Understand your man

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 travelin'
While I'm untangeling my mind

I ain't gonna repeat, what I said anymore
While I'm breathing air that ain't been breath before
I'll be as gone as a wild goose in winter
Then you'll understand your man

Meditate on it!
Understand your man
You hear me talking?
[Fades away]
Understand your man
You remember what I told you?
