Sam & Dave - Dock of the Bay Lyrics



Sam & Dave - Dock of the Bay Lyrics




Sittin' in the mornin' sun
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' comes
Watching the ships roll in
Then I watch 'em roll away again
I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco Bay
'Cause I've had nothing to live for
And looks like nothing's gonna come my way
Yeah I'm a-sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

Looks like nothing's gonna change
Everything still remains the same
Well I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same

Sittin' here restin' my bones
This loneliness won't leave me alone
Two thousand miles I roamed
To make this Key West dock my home
Now I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

Sitting on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away dear

Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

On this dock watchin' that Key West sunset

Wishin' I had you here by my side
