Yeah, sitting in the morning sun
I'll be sitting till the evening comes
Watching all the ships roll in
Then I'll watch them roll away again
Yeah, sitting on the dock of the bay
Watching the tides roll away
Sitting on the dock of the bay
Wasting time
I left my home in Georgia
Headed for New York
For the Frisco Bay
I had nothing to live for
Looked like nothing's gonna come my way
So I'm just sitting at the dock of the bay
Watching the tides roll away
Sitting on the dock of the bay
Wasting time
Looks like nothing's ever gonna change
Everything still remains the same
I just can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same
Sitting here resting my bones
Sitting here resting my bones
This loneliness won't leave me alone
Two thousand miles I roam
Just to make this dock my home
So I'm just gonna sit at the dock of the bay
Watching the tides roll away
Ooh
Sitting on the dock of the bay



Wasting time
Wasting time
This looks like nothing's ever 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
Sitting here resting my bones

Sitting here resting my bones
This loneliness won't leave me alone
Two thousand miles I roam
Just to make this dock my home
So I'm just gonna sit at the dock of the bay
Watching the tides roll away
Ooh
Sitting on the dock of the bay
Wasting time
Yeah, I'm sitting on the dock of the bay
Wasting time
Sitting on the dock of the bay
Wasting time
Yeah, I'm sitting on the dock of the bay
Wasting time
