Gonna take a sentimental
journey
Gonna set my heart at ease
Gonna make a sentimental journey
To
renew old memories

Got my bag, got my reservation
Spent each dime I
could afford
Like a child in wild anticipation
Long to hear that "All
aboard"

Seven, that's the time we leave, at seven
I'll be waitin' up
for heaven
Countin' every mile of railroad track
That takes me
back

Never thought my heart could be so yearny
Why did I decide to
roam?
Gotta take that sentimental journey
Sentimental journey
home

Sentimental journey!
