 It ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe

 It don't matter, anyhow

 An' it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe

If you don't know by now

 When your rooster crows at the break of dawn

Look out your window and I'll be gone

You're the reason I'm trav'lin' on

 But don't think twice, it's all right

 It ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe

 That 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

 Still I wish there was somethin' you would do or say

 To try and make me change my mind and stay

We never did too much talkin' anyway

 So don't think twice, it's all right

 It ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal

 Like you never did 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' 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 walkin' down that long, lonesome road, babe

 Where I'm bound, I can't tell

 But goodbye's too good a word, gal

So I'll just say fare thee well

I ain't sayin' 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
