《The King of Oak Street》歌词

[00:00:00] The King of Oak Street - Kenny Rogers (肯尼·罗杰斯)

[00:00:09] Like a leaf caught in the wind he drifted a while

[00:00:19] With no purpose or direction to his life

[00:00:29] He tried to get himself together and pacify his mind

[00:00:39] And forget about the things he left behind

[00:00:49] The cryin' woman standing helpless in his door

[00:00:59] With a two month old baby in her arms

[00:01:08] His little black book laying torn up on the floor

[00:01:17] And god only knows he never meant to do her wrong

[00:01:27] A careless weekend on the other side of town

[00:01:37] Has torn the king of oak street's castle down

[00:01:47] And all week long he's tried

[00:01:50] To call her but she won't let him explain

[00:01:57] Now sunday morning finds him walking in the rain

[00:02:07] He sits down in a phone booth and he prays

[00:02:16] That she'll forgive him and she'll believe he's changed his ways

[00:02:26] With shaking hand he deposits his last dime

[00:02:35] And he's still praying that she won't hang up this time

[00:02:45] Then the sweetest voice he's ever heard says hello

[00:02:55] Breakfast's almost ready baby come on home

[00:03:05] I've thought the whole thing over and I think I understand

[00:03:14] That the king of oak street is just an ordinary man

[00:03:23] I've thought the whole thing over and I think I understand

[00:03:34] That the king of oak street is just an ordinary man
