Sitting in the morning sun

I'll be sitting when the evening come

Watching the ships roll in

And then I watch em roll away again yeah

I'm sitting on the dock of the bay

Watching the tide roll away

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

Wastin' time

I left my home in Georgia

Headed for the Frisco bay

Cause I've had nothing to live for

And look like nothing's gonna come my way

So I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay

Watching the tide roll away

Ooo I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay

Wastin' time

Look like nothing's gonna change

Everything still remains the same

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

So I guess I'll remain the same yes

Sittin' here resting my bones

And this loneliness won't leave me alone

It's two thousand miles I roamed

Just to make this dock my home

Now I'm just gonna sit at the dock of the bay

Watching the tide roll away

Ooh wee sitting on the dock of the bay

Wastin' time
