verse 1: Sittin' in the morning sun I'll be sittin' in the evening come Watching the ships roll in, then I watch them roll away again...yea I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay watching the tide roll away Oh, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay wasting time verse 2: I left my home in Georgia Headed for the Frisco bay 'Cause I had nothing to live for like nothing's gonna come my way I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay watching the tide roll away Oh, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay wasting time Bridge: - Looks 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 verse 3: Sittin' here resting my bones and this loneliness won't leave me alone These 2000 miles I roamed just to make this dock my home I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay watching the tide roll away Oh, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay wasting time OUTRO: ((Whistle))
