"Sitting On The Dock Of The Bay" lyrics
"Sitting On The Dock Of The Bay"
(originally by Otis Redding)
Sittin' in the mornin' sun
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' comes
Watchin' the ships roll in
And I watch 'em roll away again
So, I'm gon' sit on the dock of the bay
And watch the tide roll away, mmm
I'm gon' sit on the dock of the bay
And waste my time
I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco Bay
I have nothing to live for
Looks like nothing's gonna come my way
So, I'm gon' sit on the dock of the bay
And watch the tide roll away, yeah
I'm gon' sit on the dock of the bay
And waste my time
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
Sittin' here restin' my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's two thousand miles I've roamed
Just to make this dock my home
So, I'm gonna sit on the dock of the bay
And watch the tide roll away, mhm
I'm gonna sit on the dock of the bay
And waste my time
[*whistling*]

Redlight King - "Old Man" He didn’t have much
A pair of hard working hands
Everything that I needed
I got it from the old man
With a nine second dream
He drove the Redlight Bandit
And the grease on his hands
Was the way he...
3 Doors Down - "Landing In London" I woke up today in London
As the plane was touching down
And all I could think about was Monday
Maybe I'd be back around
If this keeps me away much longer
I don't know what I would do
You've got to...
Zakk Wylde - "Sleeping Dogs" You couldn't find your peace
Within the bitterness that burns
For the sleeping dogs that lie
Forever to return
Forever to return
Gone but not forgotten
You cut me down just to watch me bleed...
Shaman's Harvest - "Dirty Diana" Oh no
Oh no
Oh no
You'll never make me stay
So take your weight off of me
I know your every move
So won't you just let me be
I've been here times before
But I was too blind to see
That you seduce...
Temple Of The Dog - "Hunger Strike" I don't mind stealing bread
From the mouths of decadence
But I can't feed on the powerless
When my cup's already overfilled
Yeah
But it's on the table
The fire's cooking
And they're farming babies...
