An' 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 would do or say
To try and make me change my mind and stay
We never did too much talkin' anyway
But don't think twice, it's
all right
So it ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal
Like you never did
before
An' it ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal
I can't
hear you any more
I'm a-thinkin' and a-wond'rin' walkin' down the
road
I once loved a woman, a child I'm told
I give her my
heart but she wanted my soul
But don't think twice, it's all right
So long, honey babe *)
Where I'm bound, I can't tell
Goodbye
is too good a word, gal
So 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
You just kinda wasted my precious time
But don't
think twice, it's all right
