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 waiting up for heaven Counting every mile of railroad track that moves me back I never though my heart could be so yearny Why did I decide to roam * Gotta take a sentimental journey Sentimental journey home *repeat
