Well it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, baby
If you don't know by now
An' it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, baby
It'll never do anyhow
When your rooster's a-crowin' at the break of dawn
Look out your window and I'll be gone
You're the reason why I'm travelin' on
But don't think twice, it's alright
And it ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe
The light I never knowed
An' it ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe
I'm on the dark side of the road
But I wish there was somethin' I could do or say
To try and make you change your mind and stay
We never did too much talkin' anyway
But don't think twice, it's alright
Well, it ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal
Like you never done before
It ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal
I can't hear you any more
I'm a-thinkin' and a-wonderin', walkin' down the road
I once loved a woman, a child I'm told
I gave her my heart but she wanted my soul
But don't think twice, it's alright
So long, honey baby
Where I'm bound, I cannot tell
But goodbye's too good a word, gal
So I'll just kind of say fare thee well
Now, I'm not sayin' you treated me unkind
You coulda done a lot better but I don't mind
You just kinda wasted my precious time
But don't think twice, it's alright
