Right or Left at Oak Street
Recorded by Roy Clark
Written by Charlie Williams and Joe Nixon
3/4 time 
C 
The alarm rang at  
G7 
seven this  
C 
morning
 
The  
Dm 
same time it did yesterday  
G7 
Dm 
Seven-
G7 
thirty is my  
Dm 
breakfast 
 
 
G7 
time
 
And I  
Dm 
know what the  
G7 
wife's 
 
gonn
C 
 
say
 
The Crawford's nex
G7 
t door got  
C 
a new swimming pool
 
The  
Dm 
Millers got a color TV  
G7 
Dm 
Mr. 
 
Wilson'
G7

G7

But his  
Dm 
wife dresses  
G7 
better than  
C 
me
 
I get to the  
G7 
school at  
C 
eight 
 
o-five
 
And  
Dm 
drop off the kids at the gate
G7 
Dm 
Then I drive  
G7 
past the clock  
Dm 
outside the  
G7 
bank
 
It'
Dm 
s exactly  
G7 
a quarter pas
C 
 
eight
 
When I reach the  
G7 
stop sign at  
C 
Oak 
 
Street
 
The  
Dm 
same thought crosses my mind  
G7 
Dm 
Should I  
G7 
turn right  
Dm 
like I always  
G7 
have
 
Or  
Dm 
left and  
G7 
leave it

G7 
the running  
C 
away
 
A left turn would  
G7 
take me to  
C 
somewhere
 
Leave  
Dm 
alarm clocks and schedules behind
G7 
 
And  
Dm 
the world  
G7 
wouldn't 
 
car
Dm 
e if I'm  
G7 
not 
 
somewhere
 
At  
Dm 
some 
 
par
G7 
ticular 
 
 
C 
time
 
Where a man  
G7 
can do what he  
C 
wants 
 
to
 
And  
Dm 
no one expects him to give
G7 
 
All  
Dm 
of his  
G7 
time to the  
Dm 
same old  
G7 
routine
 
In the  
Dm 
one life  
G7 
that he has to  
C 
live
 
I'm not sur
G7 
e which way is th
C 
e best way
 
But  
Dm 
I've always turned right befo
G7 
re
 
And  
Dm 
it might be  
G7 
strange at the  
Dm 
end of the  
G7 
day
 
If  
Dm 
they 
 
weren'
G7 
t there at th
C 
 
door
 
A man must  
G7 
make his de
C 
cisions
 
But  
Dm 
he must consider the stakes
G7 
 
For  
Dm 
every 
 
 
G7 
man's 
 
lif
Dm 
e is a g
G7 
amble
