Sittin' in the mornin' sun

I'll be sittin' when the evenin' comes

Watchin' the ships roll in

And I watch 'em roll away again

I left my home in Georgia

Headed for the Frisco Bay

I have nothing to live for

Looks like nothing's gonna come my way

Looks like nothing's gonna change

Everything still remains the same

I can't do what ten people tell me to do

So I guess I'll remain the same
