Sittin' in the mornin' sun I'll be sittin' when the evenin' comes Watchin' the ships roll in Then I watch 'em roll away again I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay Watchin' the tide, roll away Sittin' on the dock of the bay Wastin' time
Left my home in Georgia Headed for the Frisco Bay I had nothin' to live for Looks like nothin's gonna come my way I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay Watchin' the tide roll away Sittin' on the dock of the bay, wastin' time
Looks like nothin's gonna change Everything, everything remains the same I can't do what ten people tell me to do So I guess I'll just remain the same
I'm sittin' here restin' my bones Two thousand miles, I roam Just to make this dock my home I'm just gonna sit, on the dock of the bay Watchin' the tide roll away Sittin' on the dock of the bay Wastin' time
