(sitting On) The Dock Of The Bay Lyrics - American Idol

Sitting in the morning sun 

i'll be sitting when the evening comes 

watching the ships roll in 

and i watch 'em roll away again 

Sitting on the dock of the bay 

watching the tide roll away 

sitting on the dock of the bay 

wasting time 

I left my home in Georgia 

headed for the 'frisco bay 

i had nothin to live for 

and i look like nothing's 

gonna come my way 

Sitting on the dock of the bay 

watching the tide roll away 

i'm sitting on the dock of the bay 

wasting time 

looks like nothing's 

gonna change 

everything still remains the same 

i can't do what ten people 

tell me to do 

so i guess i'll remain the same 

Sitting here resting my bones 

and this loneliness won't leave me alone 

two thousand miles i roamed 

just to make this dock my home 

Sitting on the dock of the bay 

watching the tide roll away 

sitting on the dock of the bay 

wasting time 

I can't do what ten people 

tell me to do 

so i guess i'll remain the same 

Watching the ships roll in 

and i watch 'em roll away again 

sitting on the dock of the bay
