(Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay (Take 2)
One, two, three, four
Sittin' in the morning sun
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' comes
Watchin' the ships roll in
Then I watch them roll away again, yeah
I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
I left my home in Georgia
And I headed for the Frisco Bay
'Cause I've got nothin' to live for
And look like nothing's gonna come my way
So, I'm just gon' sit on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
Look like nothing's gonna change
Everythin' seems to stay the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same
Sittin' here resting my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone, listen
Two thousand miles I roam
Just to make this dock my home, now
I'm just sittin' on the dock of a bay
Watchin' the tides roll away, ooh
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
I'm wastin' time
Sittin' in the morning sun
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' comes
Watchin' the ships roll in
Then I watch them roll away again, yeah
I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
I left my home in Georgia
And I headed for the Frisco Bay
'Cause I've got nothin' to live for
And look like nothing's gonna come my way
So, I'm just gon' sit on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
Look like nothing's gonna change
Everythin' seems to stay the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same
Sittin' here resting my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone, listen
Two thousand miles I roam
Just to make this dock my home, now
I'm just sittin' on the dock of a bay
Watchin' the tides roll away, ooh
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
I'm wastin' time
