Glasgow (No Place Like Home)

Jessie Buckley

I’ve worn out the stones in front of your doorstep

Coming and going, coming and going

You kept the lights on, I always knew that

I should’ve said “thank you” a thousand miles ago

But I pushed you away, put a pin in a map

Then I got lost in the storm

Had to find my own way, make my own mistakes

But you know that I had to go

Ain’t no yellow brick road running through Glasgow

But I found one that’s stronger than stone

Ain’t no place like home, ain’t no place like home

Moon hanging low over my window

Shoebox of dreams hid under my bed

Follow the bright light city of gold

I had to leave to realize all I needed was here

Mama, we both know that there’s nothing

That a little time and Patsy Cline wouldn’t fix

Had to find my own way, make my own mistakes

But you know that I had to go

Ain’t no yellow brick road running through Glasgow

But I found one that’s stronger than stone

Ain’t no place like home, ain’t no place like home

I’ll just click my heels three more times

There it all is, what’s always been mine

Ain’t no yellow brick road running through Glasgow

But I found one that’s stronger than stone

Ain’t no place like home, ain’t no place like home

Ain’t no place like home, ain’t no place like home

Ain’t no place like home, ain’t no place like home
