Rafferty, Gerry - Right Down The Line Lyrics






You know I need your love, you got that hold over me
Long as I got your love, you know that I'll never leave
When I wanted you to share my life, I had no doubt in my mind
And it's been you, woman, right down the line

I know how much I lean on you, only you can see
Changes that I've been through have left their mark on me
You've been as constant as a northern star, the brightest light that shines
It's been you, woman, right down the line

I just wanna say this is my way
Of telling you everything I could never say before
Yeah, this is my way
Of telling you that every day I'm loving you so much more

'Cause you believed in me through my darkest night
Put something better inside of me, you brought me into the light
Threw away all those crazy dreams, I put them all behind
And it was you, woman, right down the line

I just wanna say this is my way
Of telling you everything I could never say before
Yeah, this is my way
Of telling you that every day I'm loving you so much more

If I should doubt myself, if I'm losing ground
I won't turn to someone else, they'd only let me down
When I wanted you to share my life, I had no doubt in my mind
And it's been you, woman, right down the line

  44. k.... y....

    I played it for all of the current & past 5-0 taxi drivers & for most to Patricia the dispatcher over the open two way radio walkie talkie, no one would know who was doing that as well as other sounds and noises. Than i would key off the mike, wait a second, key back on and ask one of the other drivers I would choose and say what stations that on, and the dispatcher would think it was that person I choose, he would get in trouble and sent home, it didn't work out in my favor that way all the time, soon they caught on to me and I was sent home, it sure made for a lot of fun , cabbie friends and enemies, I became there mascot. They got rid of two way radio, to computer tech. So now all we can remember is how things used to be, soon technology we so advanced we won't even have to wipe our ass !!! ( Fuck u uber thats a 10 / 4 over & out )

  45. R.... M....

  72. O.... B....

    This is our way Mr. Gerry.

  73. A.... 2....

    I may only be speaking for myself however think for those of us who remember these, and other classic songs from the 70's era, it brings back so many memories. Most of them are fond. The ironic thing is that we had no idea at that time (I was 17) that we were living in such a great time period for music. It is only since I have become older and wiser that I truly realize how grateful I am for having been able to enjoy such diverse genres of music. Its no accident that the top 500 songs of all time are heavily weighted from the 60's, 70's and 80's.

    A.... 2....

    Gerry was true and genuine talent. Masterful songwriting and memorable melodies. I was blown away by Baker Street when I first heard it, and having lived (if you can call it that) in London I could identify with the lyric "the city desert makes you feel so cold, its got so many people but its got no soul." So, I bought the album City To City and discovered many more treasures. The following year Gerry gave us Night Owl (one of my all time top 5 ever albums) and that was it, I was hooked on his music. Thank you Gerry for giving me so much wonderful music and easing my way through this, sometimes difficult, life.

    N.... B....

    lovely comment. Thanks for sharing. I'm off to check out Night Owl now.

    N.... B....

    I'm grateful also to have grown up during that era and to be able listen to such great artists as him on the radio.

    N.... B....

    MegaSammy70 yeah yeah me toooo,nice comment good to see people of my time especially that time I found music to be best,original and very awesome....appreciate your input!!!!take care fans👌🏻😎
