Baker Street

Rick Springfield · Venus In Overdrive/live In Rockford [2010]

Winding your way down on Baker Street



Light in your head and dead on your feet



Well, another crazy day you drink the night away



And forget about everything



This city desert makes you feel so cold



It's got so many people but it's got no soul



And it's taken you so long to find out you were wrong



When you thought it held everything



You used to think that it was so easy



You used to say that it was so easy



But you're tryin', you're tryin' now



Another year and then you'll be happy



Just one more year and then you'll be happy



But you're cryin', you're cryin' now



Way down the street there's a light in his place



He opens the door, he's got that look on his face



And he asks you where you've been, you tell him who you've seen



And you talk about anything



He's got this dream about buyin' some land



He's gonna give up the booze and the one night stands



And then he'll settle down, in a quiet little town



And forget about everything



But you know he'll always keep movin'



You know he's never gonna stop movin'



'Cause he's rollin', he's the rolling stone



And when you wake up it's a new mornin'



The sun is shining it's a new mornin'



And you're going, you're going home
