Song lyrics

Sittin' in the morning sun
I'll be sitting when the evening come
Watching the ships roll in
Then I'll watch 'em roll away again (Yeah)

I'm sittin' on the dock of a bay
Watching the tide roll away
I'm just sittin' on a dock of a bay
Wasting time

I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco bay
'Cause I have nothing to live for
And look like nothing's gonna come my way

So, I'm just gonna sit on a dock of a bay
Watching the tide roll away
I'm sittin' on a dock of a 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
Listen, two thousand miles I roamed
Just to make this dock my home

Now, I'm just gonna sit at the dock of a bay
Watching the tide roll away
I'm sittin' on a dock of a bay
Wasting time
