Sitting in the morning sun
I'll be sitting when
The evening comes
Watching the ships roll in then I watch them roll away again
Sitting on the dock of the bay watching the tide roll away
Sitting on the dock of the bay wasting time
I left my home in Georgia headed for the
San Francisco Bay
I have nothing to live for it looks like nothing gon'na come my way
Gon't sit on the dock of the bay watching the tide roll away
Sitting on the dock of the bay wasting time
Look like nothing nothing's gonna change
Ev'rything still remain the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do so I guess
I'll remain the same
Sitting here resting my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
Two thousand miles I roamed just to make this a dock my home
Gon' sit at the dock of the bay watching the tide roll away
Sitting on the dock of the bay wasting time
Sitting on the dock of the bay
