"(Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay" lyrics

"(Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay"

Sittin' in the mornin' sun
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' come
Watchin' the ships roll in
Then I'll watch 'em roll away again ...Yeah

I'm sittin' on the dock of a bay
Watching the tide roll away ...oh
I'm just sittin' on a dock of a bay
Wastin' time

I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco bay
'Cause I have nothin' to live for
And look like nothing's gonna come my way

So...I'm just gonna sit on a dock of a bay
Watching the tide roll away ...oh
I'm sittin' on a dock of a bay
Wastin' time

Look like nothings 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

Sittin here restin' my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone ...listen
Two thousand miles I roam
Just to make this dock my home

Now... I'm just gonna sit at the dock of a bay
Watching the tide roll away ...oh
I'm sittin' on a dock of a bay
Wastin' time
