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
