                              When your rooster crows at the break of dawn

            And it ain't no use in a turnin' on your light, babe
            The light I never know'd
            And it ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe
            I'm on the dark side of the road

                              Well, I wish there was somethin' you would do or say
                              Try and make me change my mind and stay
                              We never did too much talking, anyway
                              Don't think twice, it's alright

            So, it ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal
            Like you never done before
            And it ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal
            I can't hear you anymore

                              I'm a thinkin' and a wonderin', walkin' down the road
                              I once loved a woman, a child I am told
                              I gave her my heart, but she wanted my soul
                              But don't think twice, it's alright

            I'm a walkin' down that long and lonesome road, babe
            Where I'm bound, I can't tell
            Good-bye is too good a word, babe
            So I'll just say fare thee well

                              I ain't a sayin' you treated me unkind
                              You coulda done better, but I don't mind
                              You just kinda wasted my precious time
                              Don't think twice, it's alright...
