Roy Clark Miscellaneous Right or Left at Oak Street Right or Left at Oak Street written by Charlie Williams and Joe Nixon as sung by Roy Clark The alarm rang at seven this morning The same time it did yesterday Seven-thirty is my breakfast time And I know what the wifes gonna say The Crawfords next door got a new swimming pool The Millers got a color TV Mr. Wilsons job is not good as yours, But his wife dresses better than me I get to the school at eight o-five And drop off the kids at the gate Then I drive past the clock outside the bank Its exactly a quarter past eight When I reach the stop sign at Oak Street The same thought crosses my mind Should I turn right like I always have, Or left and leave it behind? Right or left at Oak Street Thats the choice I face everyday And I dont know which takes more courage The staying or the running away A left turn would take me to somewhere Leave alarm clocks and schedules behind And the world wouldnt care if Im not somewhere At some particular time Where a man can do what he wants to do And no one expects him to give All of his time to the same old routine In the one life that he has to live Im not sure which way is the best way But Ive always turned right before And it might be strange at the end of the day If they werent there at the door A man must make his decisions But he must consider the stakes For every mans life is a gamble It depends on the turn that he takes Right or left at Oak Street Thats the choice I face everyday And I dont know which takes more courage The staying or the running away |
