I was down I was so hung up
Drinkin' whiskey from a paper cup
Can't get out of the mood I'm in
Waitin' for everybody to begin
Turn the wheel, come on real,
Make me feel, just dig your heels, and we can fly.
You made me get up right out my seat
You made me get up and move my feet
You had me moving on down that line
Everything was gonna work out fine
You and me feelin' free
If you'll agree maybe we can touch the sky.
I'm never gonna stop now
You got me feelin' baby
With you on, well, we can make a meal of it
Don't look back, just let yourself go.
We don't have to be afraid of it
Once you know, well, we were made for it
Don't look back, just let yourself go.
(I was down and I was so hung up)
I'm never gonna stop now
You got me feelin' baby
With you on, well, we can make a meal of it
Don't look back, just let yourself go.
We don't have to be afraid of it
Once you know, well, we were made for it
Don't look back, just let yourself go.
(yeah)
Oh, let yourself go
Oh, let yourself go
Oh, let yourself go
Oh, let yourself go
Oh, let yourself go
Oh, let yourself go
Don't look back, just let yourself go.
I was down I was so hung up

Gerry Rafferty (1947-2011) è stato un cantautore e chitarrista scozzese, noto per il suo stile folk rock influenzato dal blues. Cresciuto a Paisley, in Scozia, Rafferty iniziò la sua carriera musicale negli anni '60 con i gruppi The Humblebums e Stealers Wheel. Con quest'ultimo ottenne un grande successo internazionale nel 1973 con il singolo "Stuck in the Middle with You", che divenne un classico del rock. Dopo lo scioglimento dei Stealers Wheel, Rafferty intraprese una carriera da solista di grande successo, pubblicando album come "City to City" (1978) e "Right Down the Line" (1980), entrambi caratterizzati da melodie orecchiabili e testi introspettivi. Il suo brano più famoso è probabilmente "Baker Street", un singolo del 1978 che raggiunse la vetta delle classifiche in molti paesi, grazie anche al celebre assolo di saxofono. Rafferty ha continuato a registrare musica fino alla fine degli anni '90, pur non raggiungendo più i successi commerciali dei suoi primi anni. È morto nel 2011 all'età di 63 anni.
