The King of Oak Street |
Like a leaf caught in the wind he drifted a while |
With no purpose or direction to his life |
He tried to get himself together and pacify his mind |
And forget about the things he left behind |
A cryin' woman standing in his door |
With a two month old baby in her arms |
His little black book he left torn upon 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 phone her but she won’t let him explain |
Now Sunday morning finds him walking in the rain |
He sits now in a phone booth and he prays |
That she’ll forgive him and she’ll believe he’s changed his ways |
With shaking hands 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†|
