I Wish I Was In Glasgow
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
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
