Don't call my name out your window I'm leaving
A nd I won't even turn my h ead
D on't send your kinfolks to g ive me no talkin'
I 'll be long gone like I s aid
Y ou say the same old things that you've been saying all along
L ay there in your bed and keep your mouth shot till I'm gone
A nd don't give me that old familiar c ryin' cussin' moan
U nders tand your m an u nders tand your m an
You ca n give my other suits to the Salvation Army
a nd everything else I l eave behind
C ause I ain't takin' nothi n' that'll slow down my traveling
W hile I'm untangling my mind
O h I ain't gonna repeat what I've said anymore
W hile I'm breathin' this air that ain't been breathed before
I 'll be as gone as a wild goose in winter you'll understand your man
T hink about it ho ney under stand your man hear me talkin' understand your man
