Παράθεση σχετικά με τη single κυκλοφορία:

«Μια διασκευή του κλασικού τραγουδιού του Gerry Rafferty, πιστεύαμε ότι υπήρχε περιθώριο να «ροκάρουμε» αυτό το κομμάτι και να το κάνουμε να λειτουργήσει με έναν νέο τρόπο. Μετά από έξι άλμπουμ, αποφασίσαμε να συμπεριλάβουμε ένα άπιαστο εξώφυλλο και ελπίζουμε ότι ο κόσμος θα ανταποκριθεί θετικά σε αυτό» - Mark Crosby.

Lyrics:

Windin’ your way down on Baker Street

Light in your head and dead on your feet

Well, it’s another crazy day

You’ll drink the night away

And forget about everything

This city desert it 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 where you’re wrong

When you thought it held everything

Chorus: 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 then you would be happy

Just one more year then you would 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 a dream about buying some land

He’s gonna give up the booze and the one-night stands

And then he’ll settle down

In some 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 a rollin’, he’s a rolling stone

When you wake up, it’s a new mornin’

The sun is shinin’, it’s a new mornin’

You’re goin’, you’re goin’ home
