Sittin´ in the mornin´ sun
I´ll be sittin´ when the evenin´ comes
Watching the ships roll in
And then I watch´ em roll away again, yeah
I´m sittin´ on the dock of the bay
Watchin´ the tide roll away
Ooh I´m just sittin´
On the dock of the bay
Wastin´ time

I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco Bay
´Cause I´ve had nothin´ to live for
And look like nothing´s
Gonna come my way

So I´m just gonna sit
On the dock of the bay
Watchin´ the tide roll away
Ooh I´m sittin´ 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, listen

Sittin´ here restin´ my bones
And this loneliness won´t leave me alone
Listen, two thousand miles I roam
Just to make this dock my home

Now I´m just gonna sit
At the dock of the bay
Watchin´ the tide roll away
Ooh wee I´m sittin´
On the dock of the bay
Wastin´ time
