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

You just say the same old things that you been sayin' all along
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

Now, 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 untanglin' my mind

Now, I ain't gonna repeat what I said anymore
While I'm breathin' air that ain't been breathed before
I'll be just as gone as the wild goose in winter
Understand your man
Meditate on it
Understand your man
I'm tired of your bad-mouthin'
Understand your man
