Understand Your Man lyrics

Artist  : Johnny Cash 
Song : Understand Your Man
 


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

You’d just say the same old
things
That you be sayin’ all along,
Just
lay there in your bed and keep your mouth
shut,
Till I’m gone.
Don’t give me that
old familiar cry and fuss and 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 any more --
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.
