|
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!
