Sitting in the morning sun I'll be sitting when the evening comes Watching the ships roll in And I watch 'em roll away again Sitting on the dock of the bay Watching the tide roll away Sitting on the dock of the bay Wasting time I left my home in Georgia Headed for the Frisco Bay I've had nothin' to live for And it look like nothing's gonna come my way I'm sitting on the dock of the bay Watching the tide roll away I am sitting 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 Sitting here resting my bones And this loneliness won't leave me alone Two thousand miles I roamed Just to make this dock my home I'm sitting on the dock of the bay Watchin' the tide roll away I'm sitting on the dock of the bay, wasting time I can't do what ten people tell me to do So I guess I'll remain the same Watching the ships roll in And I watch 'em roll away again Sitting on the dock of the bay
