The King Of Oak Street

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

Written by：Alex Harvey

Like a leaf 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 why 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 ca all her

But she won't let him explain

Now Sunday morning finds him walking I 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 hi is last dime

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

Then the sweetest voice he's ever heard says hello

Breakfast's a almost ready baby why 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 I've thought the whole thing over

The king of oak street is just an ordinary man
