Lyrics
Winding your way down on Baker Street You used to think that it was so easy Way down the street there's a light in his place But you know he'll always keep moving |

Gerry RaffertyReview
United Artists wanted to use "City to City" as the lead single from the album, but Rafferty felt that "Baker Street" would be a better choice and eventually the latter song became the first single in most countries (see "City to City" single release below).
Released on 3 February 1978, "Baker Street" peaked at #3 in the UK Singles Chart and spending four weeks at #1 in Canada. It reached #2 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, spending six weeks in this position, and two weeks at #1 on the U.S. Cash Box Top 100. The b-side of "Baker Street" was "Big Change in the Weather"
