gonna take a sentimental journey
gonna set my heart at ease
gonna make 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'

seven, that's the time we leave, at seven
i'll be waiting up for heaven
countin' every mile of railroad track
that takes me back

never thought my heart could be so yearning
why did i decide to roam?
gotta take this sentimental journey
sentimental journey home
