(Sittin' On) the Dock of the Bay

Sitting in the morning sun
I'll be sitting when the evening comes
Watching the ships roll in
And I watch them roll away again
I'm sitting on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
I'm sitting on the dock of the bay
Wasting time

I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco Bay
'Cause I had nothing to live for
Look like nothing's gonna come my way
So I'm just sitting on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
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

Just sitting here resting my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
This two thousand miles I roamed
Just to make this dock my home
Now I'm just sitting on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
I'm sitting on the dock of the bay
Wasting time
