Wastin' time
Sittin' here restin' my bones
So I guess I'll remain the same
Sittin' on the dock of the bay wastin' time
This loneliness won't leave me alone
Yeah, I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Sittin' on the dock of the bay wastin' time
I left my home in Georgia
Watching the ships roll in
Everything still remains the same
Headed for the Frisco Bay
'Cause I've had nothing to live for
And it looks like nothing's gonna come my way
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away
Then I watch 'em roll away again
What I can't do, what ten people tell me to do
Make this Key West dock my home
Looks like nothing's gonna change
Two thousand miles I roamed
Watchin' the tide roll away
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away
