Sittin' in the morning sun I'll be sittin' when the evening come Watching ships roll in And I'll watch 'em roll away again Lord, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay Watching the tide roll away Sittin' on the dock of the bay Wasting time I left my home in Georgia Headed for the Frisco bay I have nothing to live for Looks like nothings gonna come my way So I'm gonna sit on the dock of the bay Watching the tide roll away, ooh Lord Sittin' on the dock of the bay Wasting time, oh Look like nothings gonna change Every, everything still remains the same I can't do what ten people tell me to do So I guess I'll remain the same, yeah Sittin' here resting my bones This loneliness won't leave me alone, no Two thousand miles I roam Just to make this dock my home Now, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay Watching the tide roll away, yeah Sittin' on the dock of the bay Wasting time, oh yeah Sittin' on the dock of the bay Wasting time, time, time, oh Sittin' on the dock of the bay Wasting time, time, time Sittin' on the dock of the bay Wasting time, time, time Sittin' on the dock of the bay Wasting time, time, time, oh Sittin' on the dock of the bay Wasting time, time, time
