GONNA TAKE A SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY,
GONNA SET MY HEART AT EASE.
GONNA MAKE A SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY,
TO RENEW OLD MEMORIES.
I’VE GOT MY BAG AND GOT MY RESERVATION,
SPENT EACH DIME I COULD AFFORD.
LIKE A CHILD IN WILD ANTICIPATION,
LONG TO HEAR THAT «ALL ABOARD!»
SEVEN, (seven)
THAT’S THE TIME WE LEAVE,
AT SEVEN. (seven)
I’LL BE WAITING OUT FOR HEAVEN, (heaven)
COUNTING EV’RY MILE OF RAILROAD TRACK
THAT TAKES ME BACK.
NEVER THOUGHT MY HEART COULD BE SO YEARNING,
WHY DID I DECIDE TO ROAM?
GOT TO TAKE THIS SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY,
SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY HOME.
I SAID AT SEVEN,
THAT’S THE TIME WE LEAVE,
AT SEVEN.
I’LL BE WAITING OUT FOR HEAVEN,
COUNTING EV’RY MILE OF RAILROAD TRACK
THAT TAKES ME BACK.
I NEVER THOUGHT MY HEART COULD BE SO YEARNING,
WHY DID I DECIDE TO ROAM?
GOT TO TAKE THIS SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY,
SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY HOME.
SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY HOME, LET’S GO NOW,.
SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY HOME,
SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY HOME,
SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY HOME,
SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY HOME.
MAYBE I’D BETTER GO BY PLANE!
