Also recorded by many other artists, including Elvis and The Grateful Dead 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 break 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 turnin' on your light, babe That light I never knowed And it ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe I'm on the dark side of the road Still I wish there was something 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 all right So it ain't no use in callin' out my name, babe Like you never did before And it ain't no use in callin' out my name, babe I can't hear you any more I'm a thinkin' and a-wond'rin' all the way down the road I once loved a woman, a child I'm told I gave him my heart but he wanted my soul So don't think twice, it's all right So long, lonesome road, 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 sayin' you treated me unkind You could have done better but I don't mind You just kinda wasted my precious time Don't think twice it's all right
