(Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay

(album: 3614 Jackson Highway - 1969)

Sitting in the morning sun
I'll be sitting when the evening comes
Watching the ships roll in
Then I watch 'em roll away again
I'm sitting on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide, roll away
Sitting on the dock of the bay
Wasting time

Left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco Bay
I had nothing to live for
Looks like nothin's gonna come my way
I'm just sitting on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Sitting on the dock of the bay, wasting time

Looks like nothin's gonna change
Everything, everything remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll just remain the same

I'm sitting here resting my bones
Two thousand miles, I roam
Just to make this dock my home
I'm just gonna sit, on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Sitting on the dock of the bay
Wasting time
