The dock of the bay

Sittin' in the mornin' sun
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' come
Watching the ships roll in (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
Oooh, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the 'Frisco bay
'Cause I've had nothing to live for
And 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
Oooh, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

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

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

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