Sittin` in the morning sun
I`ll be sittin` when the evening comes
watching the ships roll in
and then I watch them roll away again, yeah
I`m sittin` on the dock of the bay
watching the tide roll away
I`m sittin` on the dock of the bay
wasting time
I left my home in Georgia
headed for the Frisco Bay
because I`ve had nothin to live for
and look like nothin`s gonna come my way
So I`m just gonna sit on the dock of the bay
watchin` the tide roll away
I`m sittin` on the dock of the bay
wasting time
Looks like nothin`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
Sitting here resting my bones
And this lonliness won`t leave me alone
It`s 2,000 miles I`ve roamed
Just to make this dock my home now
I`m just gonna sit at the dock of the bay
watchin` the tide roll away
I`m sittin` on the dock of the bay
wasting time
