Johnny Cash Understand Your Man Lyrics

Understand Your Man Lyrics

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.
