Well i'm riding the train to charleston
Now its time for moving on
I'll remember you all as the leaves fall
In the autumn sunshine
See time wouldn't wait any longer
So i'm bound west to my star
On the mountains i wish you all were coming with me
But its only in my heart that you are
So i'll look east for inspiration
And i'll toast the old days
In the gardens of my memory
Flowers bear you names
Well i won't relay it further
Too much i've said i'm sure
For riding the train to charleston
Is an easy metaphor
Yeah i'm riding the train to charleston
For its time for moving on
I'll remember you all as the leaves fall
In the autumn sun
