Sittin' in the morning sun,
|
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' come.
|
Watchin' the ships roll in,
|
Then I watch 'em roll away again.
|
|
Yeah, I'm sittin on the dock of the bay,
|
Watchin' the tide roll away.
|
Ooh, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the day,
|
Wastin' time.
|
|
I left my home in Georgia,
|
Headed for the Frisco bay.
|
I have nothin' to live for,
|
Look like nothin's gonna come my way.
|
|
So I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay,
|
Watchin' the tide roll away.
|
Ooh, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the day,
|
Wastin' time.
|
|
Looks like nothin'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 restin' my bones,
|
And this loneliness won't leave me alone.
|
Two housand miles I roam,
|
Just to make this dock my home.
|
|
Now I'm just gonna sit at the dock of the bay,
|
Watchin' the tide roll away.
|
Ooh, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay,
|
Wastin' time.
