Understand Your Man Lyrics By Johnny Cash

    verse
    dont call my name out your window im leaving
    i wont even turn my head
    dont send your kinfolk to give me no talking
    ill be gone like i said
    youd just say the same old things
    that you be saying all along
    just lay there in your bed and keep your mouth shut
    till im gone
    dont give me that old familiar cry and fuss and moan
    understand your man
    i’m tired of your bad mouthing
    understand your man

    now you can give my other suit to the salvation army
    and everything else i leave behind
    i ain’t taking nothing that’ll slow down my traveling
    while i’m untangling my mind
    i ain’t going to repeat what i said anymore
    while i’m breathing air that ain’t been breathed before
    i’ll be as gone to as a wild goose in winter
    then you’ll understand your man
    meditate on it
    you hear me talking now
    understand your man
    remember what i told ya
    understand your man
