Sittin' in the mornin' sun
I'll be settin' when the
evenin' comes
I'm sitting on the dock of the bay,
watching the tide roll away
I'm sitting on the dock of the bay,
wasting time
I left my home in Georgia,
headed for the Frisco Bay
Well I have nothing to live for,
look like nothing gonna come my way
I'm just gonna sit on the
dock of the bay,
watchin' the tide
Sittin' on the dock of the bay,
we're wastin' time
Look like nothing's gonna change,
everything's still remain the same,
I can't do what ten people tell me to do,
so I guess I'll remain the same.
Just to sit and hear the rest of my bones
This loneliness won't leave me alone
Two thousand miles of road
Just to make this dark my home
Now I'm gonna sit here
at the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
Just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Just rockin' all my time away
Just a -sittin' on my door callin'
I'm gonna be okay
