Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sittin' in the morning sun
I'll be sittin' when the evening come
Watchin' ships roll in
Then I'll watch 'em roll away again
[Verse 2]
Lord, I'm just
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
[Verse 3]
I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco Bay
I had nothing to live for
Looks like nothing's gonna come my way
[Verse 4]
So I'm gonna' sit on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh, Lord
Sittin' on that dock of the bay
Wastin' time
[Verse 5]
Looks like nothing's gonna change
Every, everything still remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same, yeah
[Verse 6]
Sittin' here, restin' my bones
This loneliness won't leave me alone, no
Two thousand miles, I roam
Just to make this dock my home, now
[Verse 7]
I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away
Yeah, sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
Oh, yeah
[Verse 8]
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
Time, time
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
Time, time
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
Time, time
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
Time, time
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
Time, time
