The King Of Oak Street 歌詞

The King Of Oak Street - Kenny Rogers (肯尼·羅傑斯)

Like a leaves caught in the wind he drifted a while

 

With no purpose or direction to his life

 

He tried to get himself together and pacify his mind

 

And forget about the things he left behind

 

The cryin' woman standing helpless in his door

With a two month old baby in her arms

 

His little black book laying torn up on the floor

 

And God only knows he never meant to do her wrong

 

A careless weekend on the other side of town

Has torn the king of Oak Street's Castle down

 

And all week long he's tried to call her but she won't let him explain

 

Now Sunday morning finds him walking in the rain

 

He sits down in a phone booth and he prays

 

That she'll forgive him and she'll believe he's changed his ways

With shaking hand he deposits his last dime

 

And he's still praying that she won't hang up this time

Then the sweetest voice he's ever heard says hello

Breakfast's almost ready baby come on home

 

I've thought the whole thing over and I think I understand

 

That the king of Oak Street is just an ordinary man

 

I've thought the whole thing over and I think I understand

 

That the king of Oak Street is just an ordinary man
