Discover the story of the song > Sittin On The Dock Of The Bay – Al Jarreau

The song is about a man who is sitting on a dock by the bay, watching the ships roll in and out. He is just wasting time and doesn't have much going on in his life. He left his home in Georgia and came to the bay because he didn't have anything to live for. He feels like nothing is going to change and everything will always stay the same. He is feeling lonely and doesn't have anyone to keep him company. He is just sitting there, watching the time go by.
