Ain't no use to sit an' wonder why, babe
If you don't know by now
Ain't no use to sit and wonder why
It won't ever do somehow

Oh when your rooster crows at the break of dawn
Look out your window and know I'll be gone
Oh and you're the reason I'm travelin' on
Don't think twice, it's alright

Ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe
The light I've never known
Oh now it ain't no use in turnin' on your light
I'm on the dark side of the road

Oh now I'm thinkin' and I'm wonderin', walkin' down the road
Oh I once loved a man of child I am told
Oh I gave him my heart, but he wanted my soul
Now don't think twice, it's alright

Ain't no use in callin' out my name, boy
Like you never done before
Oh now it ain't no use in callin' out my name now
I can't hear anymore

Oh I wish there was something you might do or say
Oh to try to make me change my mind and stay
Oh but we never did too much talkin' anyways
Now don't think twice, it's alright
So long, honey baby
Where I'm bound, I can't tell
Oh but goodbye is too good a word now
So I'll just say fare-thee-well

Oh now I ain't sayin' that you treated me unkind
Oh you coulda done better, but lo I surely don't mind
Oh you just kinda wasted all of my precious time
Don't think twice, it's alright

Oh you just kinda wasted all my precious time
Don't think twice, it's alright
