It ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe It don't matter anyhow It ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe If you don't know by now When the rooster crows at the break of dawn Look out your window and I'll be gone You're the reason I'm traveling on So don't think twice, it's alright It ain't no use in turning on your light, babe The light I never know It ain't no use in turning on your light, babe I'm on the dark side of the road I ain't saying you're treating me unkind You could have done better, but I don't mind You just sort of wasted my precious time So don't think twice, it's alright It ain't no use in calling out my name, gal Like you never did before It ain't no use in calling out my name, gal I can't hear you anymore Still I wish there was something you would do or say To try to make me change my mind and stay We never did too much talking anyway So don't think twice, it's alright I'm walking down that long, lonesome road, gal For I'm bound, I can't tell But goodbye's too good a word, gal So I'll just say fare thee well I'm a-thinking and a-wondering all the way down the road I once loved a woman, a child untold I gave her my heart, but she wanted my soul So don't think twice, it's alright
