Lyric (Sittin On) The Dock of the Bay

(Otis Redding - Steve Cropper)

I m sittin in the morning sun
Sittin when the evening comes
Watchin the ships roll in
Then I watch em roll away again.

I m sittin on the dock of the bay
Watchin the tides roll away
I m sittin on the dock of the bay
Wasting time.

Left my home in Georgia
I was headed for the Frisco Bay
I have nothing to live for
Looks like nothing s gonna come my way.

I m sittin on the dock of the bay
Watchin the tides roll away
I m sittin on the dock of the bay
Wasting time.

Looks like nothing s ever gonna change
Everything still remains the same
I can t do what them people tell me to do
So I guess that I ll just remain the same.

--- Instrumental ---

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.

I m sittin on the dock of the bay
Watchin the tides roll away
I m just sittin on the dock of the bay
Wasting time...
