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 the rooster crows at the break of dawn
look out your window and i'll be gone
you're the reason i'm traveling on
and don't think twice, it's alright

ain't no use in turning on your light babe
it's a light i've never known
there ain't no use in turning on your light baby
i'm on the dark side of the road
i wish there was something you could do or say
to try and make me change my mind and stay
we never did too much talking anyway
and don't think twice, it's alright

ain't no use in calling out my name now
like you've never done before
ain't no use in calling out my name now
i can't hear you anymore
thinking and wondering all the way down the road
i once loved a woman, a child, i'm told
i gave her my heart, she wanted my soul
and don't think twice, it's alright

i'm going down that long lonesome road babe
where i'm bound i can't tell
but goodbye is too good a word babe
so i'll just say fare thee well
i ain't saying you treated me unkind
coulda done better but i don't mind
you just kinda wasted my precious time
and don't think twice, it's alright
and don't think twice, it's alright
