"(Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay" - Otis Redding

I figure this song is about a wharfinger, the manager of a dock, whose dealings with Federal regulators, the harbor administration, city, county and state officials, unions, shippers, etc. are leaving him burned out ("I can't do what ten people tell me to do").

He should have changed jobs, and become a singer/songwriter or something.     :-)
