Sitting in the morning sun
I’ll be sitting when the evening comes
Watching the ships roll in
And then I watch them roll away again, yeah
I’m sitting on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooo, I’m just sitting on the dock of the bay
Wasting time
I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the ‘Frisco Bay
‘Cause I’ve had nothing to live for
And look like nothin’s gonna come my way
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, yes
Sitting here resting my bones
And this loneliness won’t leave me alone
It’s two thousand miles I roamed
Just to make this dock my home
