Don't call my name out your window when 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 thing
That you be sayin' all along
Lay there in your bed, keep your mouth shut
'Till I'm gone
And don't give me that old familiar cry and fuss and moan
Understand your man, meditate on
Understand your man
And 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
And I ain't gonna repeat
What I said any more
While I'm breathin' air that ain't been breathed before
I'll be as gone as the wild goose in winter
Then you'll understand your man, hear me talking out, honey
Understand your man
Understand your man, meditate on him
Understand your man
