1. Sitting in the morning sun,

I'll be sitting when the evening come.
2. left my home in georgia,
headed for the frisco bay.
3. Sitting here resting my bones, and this loneliness won't leave me alone.

then I watch them roll away again.
I have nothing to live for, look like nothing gonna come my way.
Two thousand miles I roam, just to make this dock my home.
