Sitting in the morning sun
I'll be sitting when
The evening come

Watching the ships roll in
And then i watch em
Roll away again, yeah


I'm sitting on
The dock of the bay

Watching the tide roll away
Ooh, i'm just sitting on
The dock of the bay

Wasting time

I left my home in georgia

Headed for the frisco bay
Cause i've had nothing to live for
And look like nothing's

Gonna come my way

So, i'm just gonna sit

On the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooh, i'm sitting on

The dock of the bay
Wasting time


Look 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, yes

Sitting here resting my bones

And this loneliness
Won't leave me alone
It's two thousand miles i roamed

Just to make this dock my home

Now, i'm just gonna sit

At the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Oowee, sitting on

The dock of the bay
Wasting time
