Longest Gonest Man
Break Free: The Art of Being the Longest Gonest Man
Lyrics
When your little lady just won't treat you right
Expressing dissatisfaction with how one's partner is treating them.
And your friends are asking why you fuss and fight
Friends questioning the reasons behind the conflicts and arguments.
Sometimes you're on the edge of letting go
Feeling close to the point of giving up on the relationship.
Sometimes she up and calls you so and so
Referring to the partner using a dismissive or generic term.
When you just can't take no more
Reaching a breaking point, unable to endure the situation any longer.
Say you're headed for the store
Creating an excuse to leave, possibly to avoid confrontation.
And be the longest gonest man she never did not found no more
Choosing to be elusive and distant, becoming the longest gone man.
When your lady takes to steppin' out at night
Addressing a situation where the partner is going out at night without explanation.
And your friends are asking where she's been all night
Friends inquiring about the partner's whereabouts during the night.
Be as calm as you can be so she won't know
Advising to remain calm while investigating the partner's actions.
Do what you must do and don't be slow
Urging prompt action without hesitation.
When your life is just a bore say your headed for the store
Describing life as monotonous and suggesting an excuse to leave.
And be the Longest Gonest Man with the slammin' of the door
Becoming the longest gone man by decisively leaving with a slammed door.
Guaranteed if you do not take my advice…Yes sir!

Your life will start to cramp you like a vice…Like a vice!
Warning of the negative consequences if the advice is not heeded.
You ought to know she'll never change her ways…No way!
Stating that the partner is unlikely to change their behavior.
She'll mess around on you for all your days
Suggesting a pattern of infidelity that will persist.
When you just can't take no more
Reiterating the unbearable situation and the need to leave.
Say you're headed for the store
Using the store as a pretext to exit the relationship.
Be the longest gonest man she never did not found no more
Repeating the idea of becoming the longest gone man by leaving definitively.
Guaranteed if you do not take our advice…Yes sir!
Reemphasizing the importance of heeding the advice given.

Reiterating the negative impact on one's life if the advice is ignored.
You ought to know she'll never change her ways…No way!
Reaffirming the partner's unlikely change and the persistence of infidelity.
She'll mess around on you for all your days
Stating the continuous unfaithfulness of the partner.
When your life is just a bore
Describing a dull and unfulfilling life.
Say you're headed for the store
Using the store excuse to leave when life becomes unbearable.
Be the longest gonest man with the slammin' of the door
Reiterating the idea of decisively leaving with the slamming of the door.
