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 will 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 seen some better days
Yet still we talk about it
As we go our separate ways
Glasgow gave me more
Then it ever took away
And prepared me for life on the road
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
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
Now sees some better days
Still we talk about it
As we go our separate ways
Glasgow gave me more
Then 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
And 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
Then it ever took away
And prepared me for life on the road
