Dock of the Bay

(album: Tennessee Whiskey - 1981)

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 left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco Bay
Cause I've had nothing to live for
It looks like nothing's gonna come my way
Yeah

Sitting on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Sitting on the dock of the bay
Wasting time

Looks 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

Sitting here resting my bones
This loneliness won't leave me alone
Two thousand miles I roamed
To make this Key West dock my home

I'm sitting on the dock of the bay...
Watching the tide roll away
Sitting on the dock of the bay...
Wasting time

Sitting on the dock of the bay...
Watching the tide roll away
Sitting on the dock of the bay...
Wasting time
