Sitting in the morning sun 
I`ll be sittin when the evening comes 
Watching the ships roll in 
And Ill watch em roll away again 
Im just sittin on the dock of the bay 
Watching the time roll away 
Sitting on the dock of the bay 
Wasting time. 
I left my home in Georgia 
And I headed for the Frisco bay 
Ive got nothing to live for 
Look like nothings gonna come my way 
Im just sittin on the dock of the bay 
Watching the time roll away 
Sitting on the dock of the bay Wasting time 
Look like nothings gonna change 
Everthing seems to stay the same 
I cant do what ten people tell me to do 
So I guess Ill just remain the same 
Sitting here resting my bones 
Cause this loneliness wont leave me alone 
10000 miles from home 
Just to make this dock my home 
So Im just sittin on the dock of the bay 
Watching the time roll away, ooh 
Sitting on the dock of the bay Wastin time
