The King Of Oak Street - Kenny Rogers (肯尼·罗杰斯)[00:00:00]
Written by:Alex Harvey[00:00:01]
Like a leaf caught in the wind he drifted a while[00:00:12]
With no purpose or direction too his life[00:00:24]
He tried to get himself together and pacify his mind[00:00:35]
And forget about the things he left behind[00:00:48]
The cryin' woman helpless standing in his door[00:00:59]
With a two month old baby in her arms[00:01:12]
His little black book laying torn up on the floor[00:01:23]
And God only knows he never meant to do her wrong[00:01:36]
A careless weekend on the other side of town[00:01:48]
Has torn the king of oak street's castle down[00:02:01]
And all week long he's tried to call her but she won't let him explain[00:02:13]
Now Sunday morning finds him walking in the rain[00:02:25]
He sits down in a phone booth and he prays[00:02:38]
That she'll forgive him and she'll believe he's changed his ways[00:02:49]
With shaking hand he deposits his last dime[00:03:02]
And he's still praying that she won't hang up this time[00:03:14]
Then the sweetest voice he's ever heard says hello[00:03:27]
Breakfast's almost ready baby come on home[00:03:40]
I've thought the whole thing over and I think I understand[00:03:52]
That the king of oak street is just an ordinary man[00:04:04]
I've thought the whole thing over and I think I understand[00:04:15]
That the king of oak street is just an ordinary man[00:04:29]
