Sittin in the morning sun,
I`ll be sittin´ when the evening come,
Watching the ships roll in,
And I´ll watch ´em roll away again, yeah,
I´m sittin´ on the dock of the bay,
Watching the tide roll away, ouh,
I´m just sittin´ on the dock of the bay,
Wasting time.

I left my home in Georgia,
Headed for the Frisco bay
I have nothing to live for,
Look like nothings gonna come my way,

So I´m just go sit on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away,
I´m sittin´ on the dock of the bay,
Wasting time

Look like nothings gonna change,
Everything still remain the same,
I can´t do what ten people tell me to do,
So I guess I´ll remain the same, yes,

Sittin´ here resting my bones,
And this loneliness won´t leave me alone, yes,
Two thousand miles I roam
Just to make this dock my home

Now I´m just go sit at the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away, ooh
Sittin´ on the dock of the bay
Wasting time
