Verse 1
It's like I never miss an opportunity to go on stage.
And I love those girls wherever they are.
They left.
I'm kidding.
Yeah, I'm bringing it down.
We're going to have to bring it back down, guys.
I'll be sitting till the evening comes.
Watching the ships roll in.
And then I'll watch them roll away again.
I'm going to sit on the dock of the bay.
Watching the tide roll away.
Sit on the dock of the bay wasting time.
