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

T. Graham Brown & Randy Houser Lyrics

"(Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay"
(originally by Otis Redding)

Sittin' in the mornin' sun
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' come
Watching the ships roll in
And then I watch 'em roll away again, yeah

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooh, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the 'Frisco bay
I've had nothing to live for
Look like nothin's gonna come my way

So I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooh, I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

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

Sittin' here resting my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's two thousand miles I roamed
Just to make this dock my home

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
