Sitting in the morning sun

I'll be sitting when the evening comes

Watching the ships roll in

Then I watch them roll away again

I left my home in georgia

And I headed for the frisco bay

Cause I've got nothing to live for

Looks like nothin's gonna come my way

I'm just come sitting on the dock of the bay

Watching the tide roll away

Oh I'm sitting on the dock of the bay wasting time

Sitting here resting my bones

And this loneliness won't leave me alone

This two thousand miles I roamed

Just to make this dock my home

Now I'm just sitting on the dock of the bay

Watching the tide roll away

Oh I’m sitting on the dock of the bay wasting time

Yeah I’m sitting on the dock of the bay

Watching the tide roll away

Oh I’m sitting on the dock of the bay wasting time

Looks like nothin's gonna change

Everything seems to stay the same

I can't do what ten people tell me to do

So I guess I'll remain the same

I’m sitting on the dock of the bay

Watching the tide roll away

Oh I'm sitting on the dock of the bay wasting time
