If I remember right this song was released after he had parished in a plane crash ..........I saw the pictures of the recovery team pulling him from the water........What was so amazing to me is that he was fully dressed and not a hair out of place.......................................RIP

Lyrics

Sitting in the morning sun
I'll be sitting when the evening come.
Watching the ships roll in
then i watch them roll away again
yeah


i'm sitting on the dock of the bay
watching the tide roll away.
oooo im just sitting on the dock of the bay wasting time.

I left my home in Georgia
headed for the Frisco bay
cause i've had nothing to live for
it look like nothing gonna come my way
so im just gon sit on the dock of the bay
watching the tide roll way, ooooo
im sitting on the dock of the bay wasting time.

look like nothing gonna change
everything still remains the same
i can't do what 10 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.
2,000 miles i've roamed just to make this dock my home.
now i'm just gon sit at the dock of the bay watching the tide roll away, oooowe
sitting on the dock of the bay wasting time.


LOL....i think i got all the lyrics right...i tried yall.
