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

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

Sitting in the morning sun
I'll be sitting 'til the evening comes
Watching the ships roll in
Then I'll watch them roll away again

I'm gonna sit on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Sit on the dock of the bay
Wasting time

Left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco bay
'Cause I got nothing to live for
And nothing's gonna come my way
Yeah

I'm gonna sit on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Sit on the dock of the bay
Wasting time

Looks like nothing's gonna change, no
Everything still remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me do
So guess I'll just remain the same
Sitting here, resting my bones
This loneliness won't leave me alone
It's two thousand miles I roam
Just to make this dock my home

I'm gonna sit on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Sit on the dock of the bay
Wasting time
Now we whistle together. Ready?
Totally
Yep
That's it
We will work on that part
And yeah, no but that was good
That was like a really good start

I'm gonna sit on the dock of the bay
Wasting time, wasting time, wasting time
