Well, it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
If you don't know by now
And it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
It'll never do somehow
When your rooster crows at the break of dawn
Look out your window and I'll be gone
You're the reason I'm traveling on
But don't think twice, it's alright
And it ain't no use in turning on your light, babe
The light I've never knowed
And it ain't no use in turning on your light, babe
I'm on the dark side of the road
But I wish there was something I could do or say
And try to make you change your mind and stay
We never did too much talking anyway
But don't think twice, it's alright
So it ain't no use in calling out my name, girl
Like you've never done before
And it ain't no use in calling out my name, girl
I can't hear you anymore
And I'm thinking and a-wondering all the way
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 babe
Where I'm bound, I can't tell
And goodbye is too good a word, babe
So I'll just say fare thee well
I ain't saying you treated me unkind
You could've done better, but I don't mind
You just kind of wasted my precious time
But don't think twice, it's alright
