There ain't no use to sit and wonder why babe
If you don't know by now
There ain't no use to sit and wonder why babe
If you don't know by now
When the rooster crows at the break of dawn
Well look out your window baby I'll be gone
You're the reason I'm movin' on
Yeh, don't think twice it's alright


I've headed down that long lonesome road, girl
Where I'm bound I can't tell
Goodbye is too good a word girl
So I'll say Fare thee well
I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind
You could have done better but I, I don't mind
You just kinda wasted my precious time
Oo, Don't think twice it's alright


Take it on


When the rooster crows at the break of dawn
Well look out your window baby I'll be gone
You're the reason I'm movin' on
Yeh don't think twice it's alright


There ain't no use to sit and wonder why babe
It don't matter anyhow
There ain't no use to sit and wonder why babe
If you don't know by now


* When the rooster crows at the break of dawn
Well look out your window baby I'll be gone
You're the reason I'm travellin' on
Oh don't think twice it's alright


I'm headed down that long lonesome road, babe
Where I'm bound I can't tell
Goodbye is too good a word girl
I'll just say Fare thee well
I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind
You could have done better but I, I don't mind
You just sorta wasted my favourite time
Oo, Don't think twice it's alright
Wow


* Repeat


I've headed down that long lonesome road, girl
Where I'm bound I can't tell
Goodbye is too good a word girl
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
Yeh, you're the reason I'm travellin' on
Oh don't think twice it's alright


Take it on
Where I'm bound I can't tell
Goodbye is too good a word girl
So I'll say Fare thee well

Don't think twice it's alright
It ain't no use in turning on your light babe
A light I never knowed
It ain't no use in turning on your light babe
I'm on the dark side of the road
Still I wish there were something you would do or say
To try and make me change my mind and stay
We never did too much takling anyway
So don't think twice it's alright
I'm walking down that long lonesome road babe
Where I'm bound I can't tell
Goodbye is too good a word babe
So I'll just say fare thee well
I'm not saying you treated me unkind
You could have done better but I don't mind
But don't think twice it's alright
It ain't no use in calling out my name gal
Like you never done before
It ain't no use in calling out my name gal
I can't hear you anymore
I'm thinking and wondering all the way down the road
I once loved a woman a child I am told
I'd give her my heart but she wanted my soul
But don't think twice it's alright
