Sittin’ in the morning sun
I’ll be sittin’ when the evening comes
Watchin’ the ships roll in
And I watch ’em roll away again
So, I’m gonna sit on the dock of the bay
And watch the tide roll away, mhm
I’m gonna sit on the dock of the bay
And waste my time
I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco Bay
I have nothing to live for
Looks like nothing’s gonna come my way
So, I’m gonna sit on the dock of the bay
And watch the tide roll away, yah
I’m gonna sit on the dock of the bay
And waste mytime
Looks like nothing’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
Sittin’ here resting my bones
And this loneliness won’t leave me alone
Two thousand miles I roam
Just to make this dock my home
So, I’m gonna sit on the dock of the bay
And watch the tide roll away, mhm
I’m gonna sit on the dock of the bay
And waste my time
