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!
