"Right Down the Line" is a song written and recorded by Scottish singer-songwriter Gerry Rafferty. Released as a single in the summer of 1978, it reached #12 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and #8 on Cash Box. It was the second release from Rafferty's City to City LP as the follow-up to his first major hit as a solo artist, "Baker Street".
"Right Down the Line" was a bigger adult contemporary hit, spending four nonconsecutive weeks at number one in the U.S. In Canada, the song reached number five on both the pop singles and adult contemporary charts.
Bonnie Raitt covered the song in 2012, including it in her Slipstream album.
