(Sittin' on) the Dock of the Bay

Sittin' in the morning sun

I'll be sittin' when the evening comes

Watching the ships roll in

Then I watch 'em roll away again, yeah

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay

Watching the tide roll away

I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay wastin' time

I left my home in Georgia, headed for the Frisco bay

'Cos I've had nothing to live for

And look like nothing's gonna come my way

So I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay

Watching the tide roll away

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay wastin' time

Look like nothing'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, listen

Sittin' here resting my bones

And this loneliness won't leave me alone, listen

2000 miles I've roamed

Just to make this dock my home

Now I'm just gonna sit at the dock of the bay

Watching the tide roll away

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay wastin' time
