Sitting in the morning sun
I'll be sitting when evening comes
Watching the ships roll in
And the I watch 'em roll away again, yeah
I'm sitting on the dock of the bay
Wasting time

I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the 'Frisco bay
'Cause I've had nothing to live for
And looks like nothing's gonna come my way
So I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay
Wasting time

Looks 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, yeah

Sitting 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 gonna sit on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Sitting on the dock of the bay
Wasting time
