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

I got my bag, I got my reservation
Spent each dime I could afford
Like a child in wild anticipation
I 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

I never thought my heart could be so yearny
Why did I decide to roam?
I gotta make this sentimental journey
Sentimental journey home

I never thought my heart could be so yearny
Why did I decide to roam?
I gotta make this sentimental journey
Sentimental journey home
Sentimental journey home
