It ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
It don't matter, anyhow
An' it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
If you don't know by now
When your rooster crows at the break of dawn
Look out your window and I'll be gone
You're the reason I'm trav'lin' on
Don't think twice, it's all right

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
So don't think twice, it's all right

It ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal
Like you never did before
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' all the way 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

I'm walkin' down that long, lonesome road, babe
Where I'm bound, I can't tell
But goodbye's 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

yeah. im still here. still bored. still trying to convince myself this circumstantial isolation has been rewarding. still trying to convince others how good things are after a year of being without a particular person. still feeling sorry for myself in the loss of other individuals. still trying to understand the things that confuse me about people. about jobs. about the $40,000 dollar education that cant even get me a job in a town of 50,000 people.

bob dylan suddenly articulates the way i feel. or would like to feel.

mom wants me to do a summer program as a park ranger in montana. how glorious it would be to move back to arizona. to north carolina. to europe. mexico. south america. south africa. australia.

thailand.

but sarah wants to move to lincoln city. and that additional 40 miles is enough to make me shudder. some 3000 miles would just make difficulty even more enjoyable.

its all so nice. but its also nice.
