Lyrics Nellie McKay

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
