gonna take a sentimental journey 

gonna to set my heart at ease 

gonna take a sentimental journey 

to renew old memories 

got my bag 

I got my reservation 

spend 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 

counting every mile of railroad track 

that takes me back 

never thought my heart could be so yearning 

why did I decide to roam 

gonna take a sentimental journey 

sentimental journey home 

sentimental journey
