I'm going home to Glasgow, its face is on my mind Its laugh is loud and gallus, its arms are warm and kind I need tae feel the ground underneath my feet And hear the Glasgow sounds in the people that I meet
We're over Beattock Summit, we wave a winning fist We're racing down the valley where the silver river twists And now I hear the sound I know I'm Glasgow bound The tyres are singing sweeter as the sun strikes through the mist
The rails are reaching downwards, they point across the plain The miles I owe to Glasgow friends are running through my brain The restless engine glides towards the valley of the Clyde With half-a-thousand homeward bound on the London-Glasgow train
We soared above the Borders, the white clouds down below We caught the winding coastline in the early sunset glow We're sliding down the sky, the green hills in our eye We swing around the city and we skim the river low.
