It ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe  
If'n you don't know by now  
And 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 I'm a-traveling on  
But don't think twice, it's all right

And it ain't no use in turning on your light, babe  
That light I never knowed  
And it ain't no use in turning on your light, babe  
I'm on the dark side of the road  
But I wish there was somethin' you would do or say  
To try and make me change my mind and stay  
But we never did too much talking anyway  
But don't think twice, it's all right

So it ain't no use in calling out my name, gal  
Like you never done before  
And it ain't no use in calling out my name, gal  
I can't hear you anymore  
I'm a-thinking and a-wonderin' walking 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

So long honey, babe  
Where I'm bound, I can't tell  
Goodbye's too good a word, babe  
So I'll just say, "Fare thee well"  
I ain't a-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
