Understand Your Man

(album: Singing My Songs (Johnny Cash) - 1970)

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 talking 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 crying cussing 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 taking nothing 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 breathing 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 talking understand your man
Cause I'm leaving understand your man don't be grieving understand your man
