It ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe,
It don't matter, anyhow
An' 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 travellin' on
Don't think twice, it's alright.
It ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe
That 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.
Still I wish there was somethin' 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 alright
