Gonna take a sentimental journey,
Gonna set my heart at ease.
Gonna take a sentimental journey
To renew old memories.
Got my bag, I got my reservation,
Spent each dime I could afford.
Like a child in wild anticipation,
Long to hear that "All aboard!â?
Seven, that's the time we leave,
At seven. I'll be waitin' up for Heaven,
Countin' ev'ry mile of railroad track that takes me back.
Never thought my heart could be so yearny.
Why did I decide to roam?
Gotta take a sentimental journey,
Sentimental journey home.
Why did I decide to roam
Gotta take a sentimental journey,
Sentimental journey home.
