Lyrics:

(Dwight Yoakam with Johnny Cash)

Don't call my name out your window, as I'm leavin'
'Cause I won't even turn my head
And don't send your kin folk to give me no dang talkin'
'Cause I'll be gone like I said

You'd can say the same ole things
That you've been sayin' all along
Just lay there in your bed
And keep you mouth shut 'till I'm gone
No, Don't give me that old familiar, cry n' cuss n' moan
Understand your man
Oh, Understand your man
Huh.

(Instrumental)

Oh, party boys

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 untangle my mind

No, I ain't gonna repeat what I said anymore
While I'm breathin' air that ain't been breathed before
Yet, I'll be as gone as a wild goose in winter
Then you'll understand your man (meditate on it)
You'll understand your man (You hear me talkin, now?)
Understand your man (I told you so)
Understand your man
Huh,

Oh hu.
Understand your man

Understand your man

Understand your man

Understand

Understand your man...
