Ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
If you don't know by now
Ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
Never helped you anyhow
When your rooster crows at the break of dawn
Look out your window and I’ll be gone
And you’re the reason I’m traveling on
But don’t think twice, it’s all right
Ain't no use in turning on your light, babe
The light I have never known
Ain't no use in turning on your light, babe
I’m on the dark side of the road
I wish there was something you can do or say
Make me change my mind and stay
But you were never really one for talking anyway
But don’t think twice, it’s all right

Ain't no use in calling out my name, gal
Like you never done before
Ain't no use in calling out my name, gal
I can’t hear you anymore
I’m tired of thinking as I'm 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 all right
Walking down the long, dark, lonesome road, babe
Where I’m bound, I can’t tell
Goodbye's too good a word, babe
So I’ll just say a-fare thee well
I'm not saying you treated me unkind
You could've done better, but I don’t mind
You just kinda wasted my precious time
But don’t think twice, it’s all right
