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'll never do somehow
When your rooster crows 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.
But it ain't no use in turning on your light, babe
The light I never know
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 calling out my name,
babe, like you never did before.
It ain't no use in calling out my name,
babe, I just can't hear you anymore.
I'm a -thinkin' and a -wonderin'
all the way down the road
I once loved a woman, a child I'm told
I gave her my heart, but she wanted my soul
No, don't think twice, it's alright
Walkin' down that long,
lonesome road, baby
Where I'm bound, I can't tell.
Goodbye's too good a word, babe.
So I'll just say fare thee well.
Well, I ain't sayin' you
treated me unkind.
You coulda done better,
but I don't mind.
You just sorta wasted my precious time.
But don't think twice,
it's all right
