kenny rogers - the king of oak street lyrics
like a leaf caught in the wind
he drifted a while
with no purpose or direction to-oo his life
he tried to get himself together-er-er
and pacify his mind
and forget about the things he le-eft behind
the cryin’ woman
standing helpless in his door-oor
with a two month old baby-y i-in her arms
his little black book
laying torn up on the floor
and god only knows he never meant to do-oo her wrong
a careless weekend on the other si-ide of town
has torn the king of oak street’s castle dow-ow-own
and all week long he’s trie-ied to ca-all her-er-er
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 belie-ieve he’s changed his ways
with shaking hand
he deposits hi-is last dime
and he’s still praying that she won’t hang u-up this ti-ime
then the sweetest voice he’s ever hear-eard says h-llo-o-o
breakfast’s a-almost ready ba-aby-y, come on ho-o-ome
i’ve thought the who-ole thing over
and i think i understand
that the king of oak street is just an ordinary man
i-i’ve thought the who-ole thing o-over-er
and i think i understand
that the king of oak stree-eet is just an ordinary man…
