Oh I was born in Glasgow, near the centre of the town,

I wouldd take you there and show you, but they've pulled the building down.

And when I think about it, it always makes me frown,

They bulldozed it all to make a road.



[CHORUS]



And that great old place I miss so much has seen much better days,

And still we talk about it as we go our separate ways.


And prepared me for life on the road.



[REPEAT CHORUS]



My granny was a cleaner, my grandad drove a tram,

My father an engineer, made me all I am.

They have seen the city come and go, still they give a damn,

There's so much to learn along the road.



And Glasgow gave me more than it ever took away,

And prepared me for life on the road.
