lyrics

Rolling round and winding time, down through the Brig o Dam
Hoping that the sun will keep it’s own, but I don’t think it can
I’ve travelled this road since I could walk it, always grudge it, death won’t stop it
City’s no way for man to work the land

The Drover’s Road from Logie takes me south to Glasgow town
My time is up, as the Campsie’s lower me down (something keeps slowing me down)
And journeys end at Gallowgate is a scene from Lord knows where
Three more days and I’ll be home, and I won’t be back again

I’ve left a one room castle and a mountain at my door
I could see the water from my window, shore to shining shore
One week a year I’ll swap it all for a skyline belching coal
While the ground beneath my feet is heavy on my soul

The Drover’s Road from Logie takes me south to Glasgow town
My time is up, as the Campsie’s lower me down (something keeps slowing me down)
And journeys end at Gallowgate is a scene from Lord knows where
Three more days and I’ll be home, and I won’t be back again

Sun rising over east end chimneys and the cloud is rolling in
Sun setting over west end cranes and the air is feeling thin
When my work is done, the battle’s won, you won’t catch me for year
See me running for the hills where the light is looking clear

The Drover’s Road from Logie takes me south to Glasgow town
My time is up, as the Campsie’s lower me down (something keeps slowing me down)
And journeys end at Gallowgate is a scene from Lord knows where
Three more days and I’ll be home, and I won’t be back again
