Sittin' in the mornin' sun
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' comes
Watching ships roll in
And I watch 'em roll away again
I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the 'Frisco bay
Looks like there's nothing to live for
There's nothin's gonna come my way
I'm just sittin' 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 remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
I guess I'll stay the same
Sittin' here resting my bones
But all this loneliness won't leave me alone
Two thousand miles I roamed
I gotta make my way back home
I tell you, I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
Wastin' time, yeah
Look like nothing's gonna change
Everything remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
I guess I'll stay the same
Sittin' here resting my bones
This loneliness won't leave me alone
Two thousand miles I roamed
I gotta make my way back home
I tell you, I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
