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 will never do anyhow

When your roosters a crowin at the break of dawn
Look out your window and I'll be gone
You're the reason why I'm trav'lin' on
But, don't think twice, it's all right

An' 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 all right

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-wond'rin' walkin down the road
I once loved a woman, a child I'm told
I give her my heart but she wanted my soul
But don't think twice, it's all right

So long honey babe
Where I'm bound, I can not tell
But goodbye's too good a word, gal
So I'll just kinda say fare thee well

Now I'm not sayin' that you treated me unkind
You could have done alot better but I don't mind
You just kinda wasted my precious time
But don't think twice, it's all right
