Rambling river rustling leaves Smell of wet mountain air through the window A sliver of sunlight that sneaks through the trees And all my 'I love yous' float off in your breeze Saluda Saluda Moved in when I barely knew ya Now I'm carving a crooked line through ya And casting my fate to your wind Library's just past the old train museum Walking distance from water so pretty it Calls to you even when too cold to swim And bears helped themselves to our garden again Saluda Saluda Something unknown drew me to ya Now I'm pushing a pink stroller through ya And waving to all of my friends Trucks on the highway Planes in the big black sky Lost souls still looking for their mountain Steps to the school door the steepest of miles For a girl who weighs less than her backpack Before the door closes she turns back and smiles So it looks like I'm sticking around for a while Saluda Saluda Moved in when I hardly knew ya Now I'm carving a crooked line through ya And casting my fate to your wind Saluda Saluda Trains may no longer run through ya Something bigger delivered me to ya But it's all the same thing in the end Cause I'm carving a crooked line through ya And casting my fate to your wind
