Lyrics King of Oak Street - Kenny Rogers & The First Edition
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.
