(Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay

(album: The Memphis Album - 2007)

Sitting in the morning sun
I'll be sitting when the evening come
Watching the ships roll in
Then I'll watch 'em roll away again ...Yea

Im sitting on the dock of a bay
Watching the tide roll away ...ohhh
Im just sitting on a dock of a bay
Wasting time

I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco bay
Coz I have nuthing to live for
And look like nuthin's gonna come my way

So...I'm just gonna sit on a dock of a bay
Watching the tide roll away ...ohhh
Im sitting on a dock of a bay
Wasting time

Look like nothings 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

Sittin here resting my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone ...listen
Two thousand miles I rome
Just to make this dock my home

Now... I'm just gonna sit at the dock of a bay
Watching the tide roll away ...ohhh
Im sitting on a dock of a bay
Wasting time
