Don't call my name out your window, I'm leaving
I won't even turn my head
Don't send your kinfolk to give me no talking
I'll be gone like I said
You'd just say the same things that you've been saying all along
Lay there in your bed and keep your mouth shut until I'm gone
Don't give me that old familiar cry and cuss and moan
Understand your man
I've chewed the hand that feeds down to the bone
If you think my mind is just a game, it's time to play
Playing link, you got hit in the shin
I was looking where I shouldn't look
My busy eyes are tired
So what's wrong with me?
Or does any of this surprise you?
You can give my other suit to the Salvation Army
And anything else I leave behind
I ain't taking nothing that'll slow down my traveling
While I'm untalgling my mind
I ain't gonna repeat what I said anymore
While I'm breathing air that ain't been breathed before
I'll be as gone as a wild goose in winter
Then you'll understand your man
My mind's your marker
