Watching the tide roll away, yeah
Just to make this dock my home, yeah
Look like nothing's gonna come my way, yeah

Then I watch 'em roll away again, yeah
So I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Everything still remains the same

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay

Watchin' the ships roll in
Look like nothing's gonna change
Yes, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
I have nothing to live for

Sittin' hear resting my bones
Wasting time
Just sittin on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away
Headed for the Frisco Bay
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
Watchin' the tide roll away

Wastin' time
And this loneliness won't leave me alone, yeah

I left my home in Georgia
I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
But two thousand miles I roam
Now I'm sittin' at the dock of the bay
So, I guess I'll remain the same
