Sittin' in the morning sun
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' comes
Watchin' the ships roll in
Then I watch em roll away again
Oh, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide, roll away, uhh
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wasting time
I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco Bay
Cause I've got nothing to live for
Looks like nothing's gonna come my way
Oh, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide, roll away, uhh
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wasting time
Looks like nothing's gonna change
Everything seems to remain the same
I can't tell you what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I remain the same, ooh
Sittin' here resting my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
This two thousand miles I roamed
Just to make this dock my home
Oh, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide, roll away, uhh
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wasting time
I'm wasting time
Wasting time
I'm wasting time
