I'm gonna sit on the dock of the bay!
Watchin' the tide roll away
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
I'm gonna sit at the dock of the bay
I'm gonna sit on the dock of the bay
Just to make this dock my home, yeah
So I guess I'm gonna stay the same, ooh
I left my home in Georgia
I'ma sit on the dock of the bay wastin' time
Watchin' the ships roll in
Everything still remains the same
This loneliness won't leave me alone
'Cause I've got nothing to live for
And then I'll watch 'em roll away again
Watchin' the tide roll away
Headed for the Frisco bay
Sit on the dock of the bay wastin' time, ooh ooh
I'm gonna sit on the dock of the bay
Sit on the dock of the bay wastin' time
Two thousand miles I roam
Looks like nothing's gonna change, no no
Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh
Sittin' here restin' my bones
And nothing's gonna come my way
