Well, it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe,
If you don't know by now.
It ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe,
It don't matter, anyhow
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
Don't think twice, it's all right

It ain't no use in turning on your light, babe
That light I never knowed
And it ain't no use in turning on your light
I'm on the dark side of the road
Still I wish there was something you would do or say
To try and make me change my mind and stay
We never did too much talking anyway
So don't think twice, it's all right

It ain't no use in calling out my name
Like you never did before
It ain't no use in calling out my name
I can't hear you any more
I'm thinking and wondering all the way 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

I'm going down that long, lonesome road, babe
Where I'm bound, I can't tell
But goodbye is too good a word
So I'll just say "fare thee well"
I ain't saying you treated me unkind
You could have done better, but I don't mind
You just kinda wasted my precious time
But don't think twice, it's all right
