(Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay

(album: Right Now! - 1973)

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, yeah
I'm sitting on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooh, I'm just sitting on the dock of the bay wasting time

I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco bay
'Cos I've had nothing to live for
And look like nothing's gonna come my way
So I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooh, I'm sitting on the dock of the bay wasting time

Look like nothing's gonna change
Everything still remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same, listen

Sitting here resting my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone, listen
2000 miles I've roamed
Just to make this dock my home
Now I'm just gonna sit at the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooh wee, I'm sitting on the dock of the bay wasting time
