Gonna take a sentimental journey,

Gonna set my heart at ease.

Gonna take a sentimental journey

To renew old memories.

Got my bag, I got my reservation,
Em G# G7
Spent each dime I could afford.

Like a child in wild anticipation,

Long to hear that "All aboard!”

At seven. I'll be waitin' up for Heaven,

Countin' ev'ry mile of railroad track that takes me back.
C
Never thought my heart could be so yearny.
