Sittin' in the mornin' sun
I'll be waitin' 'til the evenin' come
Watching those ships roll in
And I watch 'em roll away again

Sittin' on the dock of the bay
I'm just watching the tide roll away
(And everyday, I watch it roll away)
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
I'm just wastin' time, I'm just wastin' time

Left my home in Georgia
I was headed for the 'Frisco bay
I have nothing to live for, y'all
And nothin' here was goin' my way

Sittin' on the dock of the bay
I'm just watching the tide roll away
(And everyday, watch it roll away)
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
I'm just wastin' time, I know I'm wastin' time

Looks like everything gonna change, y'all
Nothing here's gon' remain the same
I can't get ten people to want me til' dawn
So I guess I'll remain the same
I'm sittin' here resting these bones
And this lonely thought won't leave me alone, no
It's two thousand miles I come
Just to make this dock my home

Sittin' on the dock of the bay
I'm just watching the tide roll away
(And everyday, I watch it roll away)
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
I'm wastin' time, oh, I'm wastin' time

(Tequila)
