Well, this is a real long shot, but I have a feeling the song you're
thinking of is BAKER STREET by Gerry Rafferty. The last line you quote
is direct from that song, and the "Bason Street" could certainly be
a mis-hearing of the word "Baker". The only part that doesn't fit is
the first line you give here.

Here's the words to Baker Street. Is this the song you wanted?

BAKER STREET
Gerry Rafferty

Winding your way down on Baker Street
Lite in your head, and dead on your feet
Well another crazy day, you drink the night away
And forget about everything
This city desert makes you feel so cold, he's got
So many people but he's got no soul
And its taken you so long to find out you were wrong
When you thought it held everything.
You used to think that it was so easy
You used to say that it was so easy
But you're tryin, you're tryin now
Another year and then you'd be happy
Just one more year and then you'd be happy
But you're cryin', you're cryin now
Way down the street there's a light in his place
You open the door, he's got that look on his face
And he asks you where you've been, you tell him who you've seen
And you talk about anything
He's got this dream about buyin' some land
He's gonna give up the booze and the one night stands
And then he'll settle down, in some quiet little town
And forget about everything
But you know he'll always keep moving
You know he's never gonna stop moving
Cause he's rollin, He's the rolling stone
And when you wake up it's a new morning
The sun is shining it's a new morning
And you're going, you're going home

Brook, here you go. Cute song, isn't it...

"The Greatest" -- Kenny Rogers

Little boy, in a baseball hat,
stands in the field, with his ball and bat

Says "I am the greatest player of them all!"
He puts his bat on his shoulder, and he tosses up his ball

And the ball goes up, and the ball comes down,
and he swings his bat all the way around
The world's so still you can hear the sound,
as the baseball falls, to the ground

Now the little boy, doesn't say a word...
picks up his ball; he is undeterred

Says "I am the greatest there has ever been!"
And he grits his teeth. And he tries it again

And the ball goes up, and the ball comes down,
and he swings his bat all the way around
And the world's so still you can hear the sound,
as the baseball falls, to the ground

He makes no excuses; he shows no fear
He just closes his eyes, and listens to the cheers

Now the little boy, he adjusts his hat
Picks up his ball. Stares at his bat

Says "I am the greatest, and the game is on the line!"
So he gives his all, one last time

And the ball goes up, like the moon so bright,
swings his bat, with all his might
And the world's as still as still can be,
and the baseball falls; and that's strike 3

Now it's supper time, and his momma calls
Little boy starts home, with his bat and ball

Says, "I am the greatest, that is a fact...
but even I didn't know, I could pitch like that."
