Verse I'm sittin' in the mornin' sun Sittin' when the evenin' comes Watchin' the ships roll in Then I'll watch 'em roll away again Chorus I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay Watchin' the tide roll away I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay Wastin' time (KEY CHANGE) Verse Left my home in Georgia I was headed for the 'Frisco Bay I had nothin' to live for Looks like nothin's gonna come my way Chorus I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay Watchin' the tide roll away Sittin' on the dock of the bay Wastin' time Bridge Looks like nothin's ever gonna change Everything still remains the same I can't do what ten people tell me to do So I guess that I'll just remain the same Solo (KEY CHANGE) Verse Sittin' here restin' my bones And this loneliness won't leave me alone Two thousand miles I roamed Just to make this dock my home Chorus I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay Watchin' the tide roll away Sittin' on the dock of the bay Wastin' time (precious time)
