Sittin' in the mornin' sun
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' comes
Watchin' the ships roll in
Then I watch 'em roll away again
Yeah I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away
Ooh I'm just sitting on the dock of the bay wastin'
Time
Left my home in Georgia
Headed for the frisco bay
I had nothin' to live for
Seems like nothin's gonna come my way
That I'm here say sittin'on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away
Ooh sitting on the dock of the bay wastin'
Time
Looks like nothing's gonna change
Everything everything remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same
I'm sittin' here restin' my bones
And this loneliness won't leave my alone
Two thousand miles I roam
Just to make this dock my home
Let me hear your same
I'm sitting on the dock of the bay
Ooh I watch the tide
All the way
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
