I've always enjoyed singing the song, despspite its point of view, which seems to be that of a rather self-centered man accusing the woman he's leaving of being self centered--I particularly like the third verse with its expression of a bit of regret over the breakup:

There ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe,
The light you never showed.
There ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe,
I'm on the dark side of the road.
I wish there was something you could do or say
To try to make me change my mind and stay--
We never did too much talkin' anyway,
But don't think twice, it's all right.

The second verse is trite: "I gave you my heart but you wanted my soul," but the rest of the song is fine. It's fun to play and sing, although I don't think it's one of his prettiest tunes, even if it is plagiarized (from whom, what song?).

His prettiest tune, to my ear, is "Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowland," although the verses are largely indecypherable. Sort of like George Harrison's "Words are spinning out like endless rain into a paper cup; they slither while they pass and slip away across the universe..."
