Rodney Crowell - Glasgow Girl

I'm stuck out on the Ring Road, tonight the stars are crossed

If I don't find my way around soon, I'm sure to end up lost

Sheffield has that certain mix of danger and despair

I need to roll these windows down and breathe the cold night air

I said goodbye to Camden Town as night was falling fast

In a borrowed, beat up step van and a tank of petrol gas

And I'm riding on the wrong side like some blue Yank flyboy clown

I'm trying to read these road signs while I'm staring headlights down

Glasgow Girl, skin like milk, hair black silk

And eye's like cobalt pearl

The Glasgow Girl assured me she liked my Texas drawl

And if I ever passed that way again I should be sure to call

I tracked her down to Aberdeen, and I'm trying to get up north

Across the Scottish lowlands far beyond the Firth of Forth

Glasgow Girl, skin like milk, hair black silk

And eye's like cobalt pearl

The Roman's built these roads to last another thousand years

And I'm riding around in circles like it starts and ends right here

The raindrops on my windshield now have turned to ice and snow

I'm stuck out on the Ring Road with a million miles to go

Glasgow Girl, skin like milk, hair black silk

And eye's like cobalt pearl

Skin like milk, hair black silk

And eye's like cobalt pearl
