“Right Down The Line” is a single released off of Gerry’s album City To City, following his massively successful single “Bakers Street.”

“Right Down The Line” has a much different sound than “Bakers Street” despite it being the next single released by Rafferty. “Right Down The Line” is a more mellow song that describes how Gerry feels about his lover (at the time of the release of this song, Gerry was married to his wife Carla Ventilla). Gerry has suffered from alcoholism for most of his life, and in this song he is praising his lover for helping him through all the bad times in his life, saying she is the only one he can “lean on”.

This song may draw inspiration from Paul McCartneys' “Maybe I’m Amazed,” considering they both deal with the same subjects.
