I wish I was in Glasgow With some good old friends of mine Some good old rough companions And some good old smooth red wine We could talk about the old days And the old town's sad decline And drink to the boys on the road I was born in Glasgow Near the center of the town I would take you there and show you But they've torn the building down And when I think about it It always makes me frown They bulldozed it all to make a road That good old place I miss so much Has seen some better days And still we talk about it As we go our separate ways Glasgow gave me more Than it ever took away And prepared me for life on the road That good old place I miss so much Has seen some better days And still we talk about it As we go our separate ways Glasgow gave me more Than it ever took away And prepared me for life on the road I belong to Glasgow That's how the old song ran Ask anyone who's been there You will understand You can take the man from Glasgow But not Glasgow from the man It prepares you for life on the road That good old place I miss so much Has seen some better days And still we talk about it As we go our separate ways Glasgow gave me more Than it ever took away And prepared me for life on the road That good old place I miss so much Has seen some better days And still we talk about it As we go our separate ways Glasgow gave me more Than it ever took away And prepared me for life on the road And Glasgow gave me more Than it ever took away It prepared me for life on the road
