Don't call my name out your window, I'm leavin' I won't even turn my head Don't sent your kinfolks 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 'Til I'm gone Don't give me that old familiar cryin' cussin' moan
Understand your man I'm tired of you bad mouthin' 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 untangelin' my mind
I ain't gonna repeat, what I said anymore While I'm breathin' 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 talkin'?
Understand your man You remember what I told you? Understand your man
