Goin' to take a sentimental journey
Goin' to set my heart at ease
Goin' to take a sentimental journey
To renew old memories

Got my bag and got my reservation
Spent each time 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 out for heaven
Counting every mile of railroad track
That takes me back

Never found my heart with you from yearning
Why did I decide to roam?
Goin' to take this sentimental journey
Sentimental journey home, sentimental journey
