It ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
If you don't know by now
It ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
It don't matter anyhow
When the rooster crows at the break of dawn
Look out your window and I'll be gone
You're the reason I'm travelin' on
But don't think twice, it's all right.
It ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe
It's a light I never knowed
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 could 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.
It ain't no use in callin' out my name, now
Like you've never done before
It ain't no use in callin' out my name, now
I can't hear you anymore
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 her my heart but she wanted my soul
But don't think twice, it's all right.
I'm walkin' down that long, lonesome road, babe
Where I'm bound, I can't tell
But 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
Don't think twice, it's all right
