Lyrics Nellie McKay – Sentimental Journey

Gonna take a sentimental journey
Gonna set my heart at ease
Gonna make a sentimental journey
To renew old memories

Got my bags, got my reservations
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 at heaven
Counting every mile of railroad track
That takes me back

Never thought my heart could be so yearny
Why did I decide to roam
Gonna take that sentimental journey
Sentimental journey home

Never thought my heart could be so yearny
Why did I decide to roam
Gonna take that sentimental journey
Sentimental journey home
