Sittin` in the mornin` sun
I`ll be sittin` till the evenin` comes
Watching your ship roll in
And I watch `em roll away again
Hey I`m gonna sit on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooh Lord sittin` on the dock of the bay
Wastin` time
I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the `Frisco Bay
Lord ya I had nothing to live for
Seems like nothin`s gonna come my way
Hey I`m gonna sit on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooh yeah sittin` on the dock of the bay
Wastin` time
Looks like nothin`s gonna change
Everything remains the same
I can`t do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I`ll just remain the same
Sittin` here resting my bones
`Cause this loneliness won`t leave me alone
No honey two thousand miles I roamed
Just to make this dock my home
Hey I`m gonna sit at the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooh Lord sittin` on the dock of the bay
Wastin` time
