I wish I was in Glasgow with some good old friends of mine
Some good old rough companions, some good old smooth red wine
We would talk about the old days and the old town's sad decline
And drink to the boys on the road
That good old place I miss so much now sees some better days
Yet 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
verse 2
I was born in Glasgow, in the East End of the town
I would take you there and show you but they pulled the old place down
And when I think about it oh it always makes me frown
They bulldozed it all to make a road
That good old place I miss so much now sees some better days
Yet 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
verse 3
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 now sees some better days
Yet 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
