JOHNNY CASH LYRICS - Understand Your Man

"Understand Your Man"



Don’t call my name out your window, I’m leavin'

I won’t even turn my head.

Don’t send 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.

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 gonna repeat what i say anymore.

While I'm breathing air that ain't been breathed before

I'll be as gone as the wild gruesome winter

Then you'll understand your man

??

You hear me talking now

Understand your man

Remember what i told ya

Understand your man.
