Well, it ain't no use
To sit and wonder why, baby
If you don't know by now
And it ain't no use
To sit and wonder why, baby
It will never do anyhow
When your rooster's a crowing
At the break of dawn
Look out your window
And I'll be gone
You're the reason
Why 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 known
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
To try and make you
Change your mind and stay
We never did too much talking anyway
But don't think twice, it's alright
Well, it ain't no use
In calling out my name, gal
Like you've never done before
It ain't no use
In calling out my name, gal
I can't hear you anymore
I'm a thinking and a wondering
Walking 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 not tell
But "Goodbye" is too good a word, gal
So I'll just kinda say, "Fare thee well"
Now I'm not saying
That you treated me unkind
You could have done a lot better
But I don't mind
You just kinda wasted
My precious time
But don't think twice, it's alright
