Don't call my name out your window I'm leaving And I won't even turn my head Don't send your kinfolks to give me no talkin' I'll be long gone like I said You say the same old things that you've been saying all along Lay there in your bed and keep your mouth shot till I'm gone And don't give me that old familiar cryin' cussin' moan Understand your man understand your man You can give my other suits to the Salvation Army and everything else I leave behind Cause I ain't takin' nothin' that'll slow down my traveling While I'm untangling my mind Oh I ain't gonna repeat what I've said anymore While I'm breathin' this air that ain't been breathed before I'll be as gone as a wild goose in winter you'll understand your man Think about it honey understand your man hear me talkin' understand your man
