Gonna take a sentimental journey
Gonna set my heart at ease
I'm gonna make a sentimental journey
To renew old memories

I've got my bag, I got my reservation
I'd 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 waitin' up for heaven
Countin' every mile of railroad track
That takes me back

Never thought my heart could be so yearning
Why did I decide to roam?
Gonna make a sentimental journey
Sentimental journey home

I'm a-going home
I'm a-going, I'm a-making my way home
I've been oh so lonely and so blue
And now I'm making my way home

I've been lonely, I've been blue
Oh babe, I'm bringing my heart, I'm bringing my heart again back to you
So lonely for you

Seven, that's the time we leave, at seven
I'll be waitin' up for heaven
Countin' every mile of railroad track
That takes me back

Never thought my heart could be so yearning
Why did I decide to roam?
Gonna make that sentimental journey
Sentimental journey home
Sentimental journey home
