It ain't no use to sit and wonder why, baby
It don't matter, anyhow
An' it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, baby
If you don't know by now

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

It ain't no use in turnin' on your light, baby
That light I never knowed
And it ain't no use in turnin' on your light, baby
I'm on the dark side of the road

So 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 alright

It ain't no use in callin' out my name, girl
Like you've never done before
It ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal
I can't hear you anymore

I'm thinkin' and 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
But don't think twice, it's alright

I'm walkin' down that long lonesome road, baby
Where I'm bound, I can't tell
But goodbye's too good a word, gal
So I'll just say farewell

I ain't sayin' 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 alright
