Sitting in the morning sun
I'll be sitting when the evening comes
Watching the ships roll in
Roll in
Then I watch them roll away again
Yeah I'm sitting on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
I'm just sitting on the dock of the bay
Wasting time
I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the 'frisco bay
'Cause I've had nothing to live for
Look like nothing's gonna come my way
So I'm just go sitting on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
I'm just sitting on the dock of the bay
Wasting time
Look like nothing's gonna change
Nothing's gonna change
Everything still remains the same
Still remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same
Listen
Sitting here resting my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
Two thousand miles I roam
Miles I roam
Just to make this dock my home
Now I'm just gonna
Sitting on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
I'm just sitting on the dock of the bay
Wasting time
I'm just sitting here baby
All you've gotta do for me
