Sitting in the morning sun I'll be sitting when the evening comes
Watching the ships roll in then I watch 'em roll away again
Yes I'm sitting on the dock of the bay watching the tide roll away
Just sitting on the dock of the bay wasting time
I left my home in Georgia headed for the Frisco Bay
I have nothing to live for looks like nothing's gonna come my way
I'm just sitting on the dock of the bay watching the tide roll away
Yes just sitting on the dock of the bay wasting time
Looks like nothing's ever change everything still remains the same
I can't do what them people tell me to do
so I guess I'll remain the same
Sitting here resting my bones and this loneliness
won't leave me alone
Yes two thousand miles I roamed just too make this dock my home
Yes I'm sitting on the dock of the bay watching the tide roll away
I'm just sitting on the dock of the bay wasting time
