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
I´m sittin´ on the dock of the bay
Wastin´ time

I left my home in Georgia
And headed for the ´Frisco Bay
´Cause I got nothin´ to live for
Looks like nothin´s gonna come my way

Just sittin´ on the dock of the bay
Watchin´ the tide roll away
I´m sittin´ on the dock of the bay
Wastin´ time

Looks like nothin´s gonna change
Everything seems to stay 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

I´m sittin´ on the dock of the bay
Watchin´ the tide roll away
I´m sittin´ on the dock of the bay
Wastin´ time
