Opens the third side of Blonde on Blonde; Dylan and the Band played it to open their 1974 tour, heard on Before the Flood.
The words
A man tells a lover who has deceived him that they are better off going their separate ways.
The singer has had enough of a relationship full of games and false promises, and he says so plainly. The verses list her tricks and his tiredness, and the chorus answers each with the same cool conclusion that they should part. It is less heartbroken than relieved, with a cocky, almost cheerful air. A brassy, stomping arrangement with horns punching the rhythm makes the farewell sound like a celebration.
