[Verse 1] Sitting in the morning sun I'll be sitting til the evening comes Watching the ships roll in And I'll watch them roll away again, yeah [Chorus] Sitting on the dock of the bay Watching the tide roll away Just going to sit on the dock of the bay Wasting time Oh, oh [Verse 2] Left my home in Georgia Headed for the Frisco bay Because I got nothing to live for And nothing's going to come my way, yeah [Chorus] [Verse 3] Looks like nothing's going to change Everything's going to stay the same I can't do what ten people tell me do So guess I'm just going to stay the same I'm sitting here, resting my bones Because this loneliness won't leave me alone It's two thousand miles I roam Just to make this dock my home [Chorus] [Outro] Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oh, oh Sitting on the dock of the bay Wasting time, wasting time, wasting time
