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 thought my heart could be so yearny 
Why did I decide to roam 
Gotta take a sentimental journey 
Sentimental journey home
