[Verse 1] There ain't nothin' quite like the smell of the Highlands The mountains that soar and the sea When I step off the plane and my feet touch the land It all comes a-floodin' to me [Verse 2] It's the first breath of air, the cool on your skin And the walk through the old market town It's the cobblestones underneath your boots And the street piper singin' aloud [Chorus] There ain't nothin' quite like the smell of the Highlands The mountains that soar and the sea When I step off the plane and my feet touch the land It all comes a-floodin' to me [Verse 3] It's the fresh fish and chips wrapped up in the paper With the salt and the vinegar, too It's the hop of the lager in the old local pub And the firelight callin' to you [Verse 4] It's the forests and heather that surround every turn The whiskey that's smokin' away It's the hike up the hills with the fog rollin' in And the loch that's been here since time began [Chorus] There ain't nothin' quite like the smell of the Highlands The mountains that soar and the sea When I step off the plane and my feet touch the land It all comes a-floodin' to me
