Dwight Yoakam › Lyrics › Understand Your Man

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 old 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

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
Yeah, I'll be as gone as a wild goose in winter

Then you'll understand your man, go meditate on it
You'll understand your man, you hear me talkin', now?
Understand your man, remember I told you so
Understand your man

Oh
Understand your man
Understand your man
Understand your man
Understand your man
Understand your man
