Sittin' in the morning sun I'll be sittin' when the evening comes Watchin' the ships roll in And I'll watch'em roll away again Sittin' on the dock of the bay Watchin' 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 had nothing to live for Looks like nothing's gonna come my way Sittin' on the dock of the bay Watchin' the tide roll away Sittin' on the dock of the bay, wasting time
Looks like nothing's gonna change Everything remains the same I can't do what ten people tell me to do 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 roam Just to make this dock my home
Sittin' on the dock of the bay Watchin' the tide roll away Sittin' on the dock of the bay, wasting time...
