(sittin' on) the dock of the bay

sittin' in the morning sun

i'll be sittin' til the evening comes

watching the ships roll in

and i'll watch 'em roll away again

yeah

sitting on the dock of the bay

watching the tide roll away

just gonna sit on the dock of the bay

wastin' time

oh

oh

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

sittin' on the dock of the bay

watching the tide roll away

sittin' on the dock of the bay

wastin' time

looks like nothing's gonna change

everything's gonna stay the same

i can't do what ten people tell me do

so guess i'm just gonna stay the same

i'm sittin' here

resting my bones

'cause this loneliness won't leave me alone

it's two thousand miles i roam

just to make this dock my home

sittin' on the dock of the bay

watching the tide roll away

i'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay

wastin' time

ooh

ooh

ooh

ooh

oh

oh

sittin' on the dock of the bay

wasitn' time

wastin' time

wastin' time
