Sittin' in the mornin' sun, I'll be sittin' in the evenin' calm, Watchin' the ships roll in, and I'll watch it roll away again, yeah. Sittin' on the dock of the bay, watchin' the tide roll away, Sittin' on the dock of the bay, waste of time. I left my home in Georgia, headed for the Frisco Bay, I had nothin' to live for, it looked like nothin' was gonna come my way, So I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay, watchin' the tide roll away, Sittin' on the dock of the bay, waste of time. Look like nothin'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. Sittin' here restin' my bones, and this loneliness won't leave me alone, Two thousand miles I roamed, just to make this dock my home, Now I'm just gonna sit at the dock of the bay, watchin' the tide roll away, Sittin' on the dock of the bay, waste of time. Sittin' on the dock of the bay, waste of time. SITTING ON THE DOCK OF THE BAY
