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
