Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay

Watchin' the tide roll away

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay

Wastin' time

[Verse 3]

I left my home in Georgia

And headed for the 'Frisco Bay

'Cause I got nothin' to live for

Looks like nothin's gonna come my way

[Verse 4]

Just sittin' on the dock of the bay

Watchin' the tide roll away

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay

Wastin' time

[Verse 5]

Looks like nothin's gonna change

Everything seems to stay the same

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

So I guess I'll remain the same

[Verse 6]

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

[Verse 7]

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay

Watchin' the tide roll away

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay

Wastin' time
