[Verse 1]
Sittin' in the mornin' sun
I'll be sittin' till the evenin' comes
Watchin' the ships roll in
Then I'll watch 'em roll away again
[Verse 2]
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away
Ooh, ooh, sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
[Verse 3]
I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco bay
'Cause I had nothin' to live for
Looks like nothin' gonna come my way
[Verse 4]
Oh, sittin' on the dock of a bay
Watchin' the tide roll away
Ooh, sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
[Verse 5]
Looks like nothin' 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
[Verse 6]
Sittin' here restin' my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
Two thousand miles I roamed
Just to make this dock my own
[Verse 7]
Oh, sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away
Sittin' on the dock of a bay
Wastin' time
[Verse 8]
Looks like nothin's gonna change
Everything still remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do, no
So I guess I'll remain the same
[Verse 9]
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away
Ooh, sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
