There ain't no use to sit and wonder why,
That is if you don't know by now
the rooster crows at the break of dawn
An d you're the reason that
That light that I never knowed
Ain't no use in turnin' on your light,
Because I'm on the dark side of the road
Still, wish there was somethin'
To try and make me change
So don't think twice, it's all right
I'm walkin' down that long,
Where I'm bound, I can't tell
that's too good a word, gal
I'm just gonna say fare thee well
You could have done better,
You just kinda wasted some
Don't think twice, it's all right
Like you never did before
No, there ain't no use in callin' out my name,
Because I can't hear you anymore
I'm a -thinkin' and wonderin'
all the way down the road
I once loved a woman, a child
I'm told I gave her my heart
I'm walking down that long,
Where I'm bound, I can't tell
But goodbye, that's too good a word, gal
So I'm just gonna say fare thee well
