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   I'm just sitting on the dock of the bay   Wasting time      I left my home in Georgia   Headed for the 'Frisco bay   'Cause I had nothin' to live for   And look like nothing's gonna come my way      So I'm just      Sitting on the dock of the bay   Watching the tide roll away   I'm just sitting on the dock of the bay   Wasting 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      Sittin' here resting my bones   And this loneliness won't leave me alone   It's two thousand miles I roamed   Just to make this dock my home      Now, I'm just      Sitting on the dock of the bay   Watching the tide roll away   I'm just sitting on the dock of the bay   Wasting time
