The King Of Oak Street Lyrics - Country Biography - Kenny Rogers

Like a leaf caught in the wind he drifted a while 

With no purpose or direction too 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...
