Well it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
Ifin' you don't know by now
An' it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
It'll never do some how
(Somehow)
When your rooster crows at the break a' dawn
Look out your window and I'll be gone
You're the reason I'm trav'lin' on
But don't think twice, it's all right
And it ain't no use in a-turnin' on your light, babe
The light I never knowed
An' it ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe
I'm on the dark side of the road
(I'm on 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 talkin' anyway
But don't think twice, it's all right
(It's alright)
No it ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal
Like you never done before
And it ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal
'Cause I can't hear you any more
(Anymore)
I've been thinkin' and a-wond'rin' all the way down the road
I once loved a woman, a child I am told
I gave 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 is too good a word, babe
So I'll just say fare-thee-well
(Farewell)
But 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 all right
(I'm lookin for a place that's gonna animal my soul!)
