Lyrics

[00:10.200] Sittin' in the morning sun
[00:13.750] I'll be sittin' when the evening comes
[00:18.810] Watching the ships roll in
[00:23.460] Then I watch 'em roll away again, yeah
[00:28.360] I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
[00:32.070] Watching the tide roll away
[00:37.180] I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay wastin' time
[00:47.170] I left my home in Georgia, headed for the Frisco bay
[00:55.880] 'Cos I've had nothing to live for
[01:00.300] And look like nothing's gonna come my way
[01:05.160] So I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay
[01:09.370] Watching the tide roll away
[01:14.660] I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay wastin' time
[01:23.900] Look like nothing's gonna change
[01:29.090] Everything still remains the same
[01:34.460] I can't do what ten people tell me to do
[01:38.740] So I guess I'll remain the same, listen
[01:43.210] Sittin' here resting my bones
[01:47.130] And this loneliness won't leave me alone, listen
[01:52.550] 2000 miles I've roamed
[01:56.390] Just to make this dock my home
[02:00.840] Now I'm just gonna sit at the dock of the bay
[02:05.080] Watching the tide roll away
[02:10.310] I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay wastin' time
[02:31.360]
