[Verse 1]
Well, 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've been saying all along
Lay there in bed and keep your mouth shut 'til I'm gone
Don't give me that old familiar cussin', moanin' groan
Understand your man
Tidy your bad mouth and understand your man

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 2]
You can give my other suits to the Salvation Army
And anything else I leave behind
I ain't takin' nothin' that'll slow down my travelin'
While I'm untanglin' my mind
I ain't gonna repeat what I've 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
You hear me talkin', honey? Understand your man
Remember what I tell you, understand your man
