Watchin' the ships roll in
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
I left my home in Georgia
Just to make this dock my home
So I guess I'll remain the same, yes
Watchin' the tide roll away
Wastin' time
Sittin' here restin' my bones
Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh
Now I'm just go sit at the dock of the bay
I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
So I'm just go sit on the dock of the bay
Everythin' still remain the same
Headed for the Frisco bay
And this loneliness won't leave me alone, yes
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
Look like nothings gonna change
I have nothing to live for
Two thousand miles, I roam
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
And I'll watch 'em roll away again, yeah
Wastin' time
Look like nothings gonna come my way
Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh
