Sittin in the mornin sun
Ill be sittin when the evenin comes
Watchin the ships roll in
Then I watch em roll away again
Im sittin on the dock of the bay
Watchin the tide, roll away
Sittin on the dock of the bay
Wastin time
Left my home in georgia
Headed for the frisco bay
I had nothin to live for
Looks like nothins gonna come my way
Im just sittin on the dock of the bay
Watchin the tide roll away
Sittin on the dock of the bay, wastin time
Looks like nothins gonna change
Everything, everything remains the same
I cant do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess Ill just remain the same
Im sittin here restin my bones
Two thousand miles, I roam
Just to make this dock my home
Im just gonna sit, on the dock of the bay
Watchin the tide roll away
Sittin on the dock of the bay
Wastin time
