ain't no use to sit an wonder why, babe

if you don't know by now

oh now ain't no use to sit and wonder why

it won't ever do somehow



oh when your rooster crows at the break of dawn

look out your window and know i'll be gone

oh you're the reason i'm travelin on

dont think twice, it's alright



there ain't no use in turnin on your light, babe

the light i've never known

oh now it ain't no use in turnin on your light, babe

i'm on the dark side of the road



oh now i'm thinkin and i'm wonderin, walkin down the road

oh i once loved a man of child i am told

oh i gave him my heart, but he wanted my soul

don't think twice, it's alright



there ain't no use in callin out my name, boy

like you never done before

oh now ain't no use in callin out my name now

cause i can't hear anymore



oh i wish there was something you might do or say

oh to try to make me change my mind and stay

oh but we never did too much talkin anyways

don't think twice, it's alright



so long, honey baby

where i'm bound, i can't tell

oh but good-bye is too good a word now

so i'll just say fare-thee-well



oh now i ain't sayin that you treated me unkind

oh you coulda done better, but oh i don't mind

oh you just kinda wasted all of my precious time

don't think twice, it's alright



oh you just kinda wasted all of my precious time

don't think twice, it's alright
