It ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
It don't matter, anyhow

And it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
If you don't know by now
When your rooster crows at the breaks of dawn

Look out your window and I'll be gone
You're the reason I'm traveling on
Don't think twice, it's all right.


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
We never did too much talking anyway
So don't think twice, it's all right.


It ain't no use in calling out my name, gal
Like you never done before

It ain't no use in calling out my name, gal
I can't hear you any more
I'm a-thinking and a-wond'rin' walking down the road

I once loved a woman, a child I'm told
I give her my heart but she wanted my soul
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 saying you treated me unkind

You could have done better but I don't mind
You just kinda wasted my precious time
But don't think twice, it's all right.
