Lyrics (Sittin' On The) Dock of the Bay - Joe Sample , Nils Landgren

Sittin' in the mornin' sun
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' come
Watching the ships roll in
And I watch 'em roll away again, yeah

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the 'Frisco bay
I've nothing to live for
Looks like nothing's gonna come my way, no

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

Seems like nothing's gonna change
Everything still remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to
So I guess I'll remain the same

Sittin' here resting my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone, no
Two thousand miles I roamed
Just to make this dock my home

Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

Seems like nothing's gonna change
Every little thing still remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same

I'm sittin' here resting my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
Two thousand miles I roamed
Just to make this dock my home, yeah

Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
