Sittin' in the morning sun I'll be sittin' til the evening comes Watching the ships roll in And I'll watch 'em roll away again, yeah Sitting on the dock of the bay Watching the tide roll away Just gonna sit on the dock of the bay Wastin' time Oh, oh Left my home in Georgia Headed for the Frisco bay 'Cause I got nothing to live for And nothing's gonna come my way, yeah Sittin' on the dock of the bay Watching the tide roll away Sittin' on the dock of the bay Wastin' time Looks like nothing's gonna change Everything's gonna stay the same I can't do what ten people tell me do So guess I'm just gonna stay the same I'm sittin' here, resting my bones 'Cause this loneliness won't leave me alone It's two thousand miles I roam Just to make this dock my home Sittin' on the dock of the bay Watching the tide roll away I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay Wastin' time Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oh, oh, Sittin' on the dock of the bay Wasitn' time, wastin' time, wastin' time
