Garth Brooks – Sitting On The Dock Of The Bay lyrics
Sittin' in the morning sun
I'll be sittin' when the evening comes
Watching the ships roll in
Then I watch them roll away again, yeah

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

Yeah I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco Bay
I've had nothing to live for
And look like nothing's gonna come my way

Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

Looks like nothing's ever gonna change
Why must everything remain the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same

Sittin' here resting my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
Two thousand miles I roam
Just to make this dock my home

Sittin' at the dock of a bay
Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
