I'm sittin' in the mornin' sun
Sittin' when the evenin' comes
Watchin' the ships roll in
Then I'll watch 'em roll away again
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
(KEY CHANGE)
Left my home in Georgia
I was headed for the 'Frisco Bay
I had nothin' to live for
Looks like nothin's gonna come my way
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
Looks like nothin's ever gonna change
Everything still remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess that I'll just remain the same
(KEY CHANGE)
Sittin' here restin' my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
Two thousand miles I roamed
Just to make this dock my home
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time (precious time)
