“Baker Street” was originally released in 1978 by singer/songwriter Gerry Rafferty. The song was a huge hit reaching #2 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.
It’s about a man who dreams of owning a home and moving away from the neighborhood he’s in, but he’s a drunk and will not achieve those goals so he keeps drinking to forget about what he doesn’t have.
