Lyrics David Allan Coe – Dock of the Bay

Sittin’ in the morning sun
I’ll be sittin’ when the evening comes
Watching the ships roll in
Then I watch ’em roll away again

I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco Bay
Cause I’ve had nothing to live for
It looks like nothing’s gonna come my way
Yeah

Sittin’ on the dock of the bay
Watchin’ the tide roll away
Sittin’ on the dock of the bay
Wastin’ 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

Sittin’ here restin’ my bones
This loneliness won’t leave me alone
Two thousand miles I roamed
To make this Key West dock my home

I’m sittin’ on the dock of the bay…
Watchin’ the tide roll away
Sittin’ on the dock of the bay…
Wastin’ time

Sittin’ on the dock of the bay…
Watchin’ the tide roll away
Sittin’ on the dock of the bay…
Wastin’ time
