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 just sittin' on the dock of the bay Watchin' the tide roll away I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay Wastin' time I left my home in Georgia Headed for the Frisco Bay 'Cause I've had nothin' to live for Look like nothin' gonna come my way So I'm just gon' sit on the dock of the bay Watchin' the tide roll away Sittin' on the dock of the bay Wastin' time Looks like nothin's gonna change Everything still remains the same I can't do what ten people tell me to So I guess I'll remain the same Sittin' here restin' my bones And this loneliness won't leave me alone It's two thousand miles I roamed Just to make this dock my home I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay Watchin' the tide roll away Sittin' on the dock of the bay Wastin' time Looks like nothin's gonna change Everything still remains the same I can't do what ten people tell me to So I guess I'll remain the same Sittin' here restin' my bones And this loneliness won't leave me alone Two thousand miles I roamed Just to make this dock my home I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay Watchin' the tide roll away Sittin' on the dock of the bay Wastin' time
