Well, 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'll be travelin' on   But don't think twice, it's all right      Well, it ain't no use turnin' on your light, babe   The light I never knowed   And it ain't no use turnin' on your light, babe   I'm on the dark side of the road   Still, I wish there were somethin' you would do or say   To try and make me change my mind and stay   But we never did too much talkin' anyway   So don't think twice, it's all right      Well, it ain't no use callin' out my name, gal   Like you never done before   And it ain't no use callin' out my name, gal   I can't hear you anymore   But I'll be thinkin' and wonderin' as I'm walkin' down the road   How I once loved a woman, a child, I am told   Well, 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"   Well, I'm not sayin' you treated me unkind   Coulda done better, but I don't mind   You just kinda wasted my precious time   But don't think twice, it's all right   Don't think twice, it's all right
