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

When your roof's too close at the break of dawn
Look out your window and I'll be gone
You are the reason I'm traveling home
Don't think twice, it's alright

Ain't no use in turning on your light, babe
That night, I never know
Ain't no use in turning on your light, babe
I'm on the dark side of the road

Still I wish there was something you would do or say
To try and make me want to change my mind and stay
We never did too much talking anyway
Don't think twice, it's alright, no
Don't think twice
Don't think twice, it's alright

But there ain't no use in calling out my name, babe
Like you never did before
And there ain't no use in calling out my name, babe
Cause I can't hear you anymore

Well, I'm thinking and I wondering all the way down the road
I once loved a man but that love grew old
I gave him my heart, but he wanted my soul
Don't think twice, it's alright

I'm walking down that lone lonesome road, babe
Where I'm bound well I can tell
But goodbye is to get away, babe
So I'm gonna say farewell

But I ain't saying you treated me unkind
You could have loved me better, but no, I don't mind
But you just kinda sort of wasted my precious time
Don't think twice, it's alright, no
Don't think twice
Don't think twice, it's alright
Don't think twice
Don't think twice, it's alright

Dolly Rebecca Parton (born January 19, 1946) is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, actress, author, and philanthropist, best known for her work in country music

Beginning her career as a child performer, Parton issued a few modestly successful singles from 1959 through the mid-1960s, showcasing her distinctive soprano voice. She came to greater prominence in 1967 as a featured performer on singer Porter Wagoner’s weekly television program; their first duet single, a cover of Tom Paxton’s “The Last Thing on My Mind”, was a top-ten hit on the country singles charts, and led to several successful albums before they ended their partnership in 1974. Moving towards mainstream pop music, Parton’s 1977 single “Here You Come Again” was a success on both the country and pop charts. A string of pop-country hits followed into the mid-1980s, the most successful being her 1981 hit 9 to 5" (from the film of the same name), and her 1983 duet with Kenny Rogers “Islands in the Stream”, both of which topped the U.S. pop and country singles charts. A pair of albums recorded with Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris were among her later successes. In the late 1990s, Parton returned to classic country/bluegrass with a series of acclaimed recordings
