[Verse 1]
Gonna take a sentimental journey
Gonna set my heart at ease
Gonna make a sentimental journey
To renew old memories
I 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!"

[Chorus]
Seven
That's the time we leave
At seven
I'll be waiting out for heaven
Counting every mile of railroad track
That takes me back

[Verse 2]
Never thought my heart could be so yearning
Why did I decide to roam?
Got to take this sentimental journey
Sentimental journey home

[Chorus]
I said seven
That's the time we leave
At seven
I'll be waiting out for heaven
Counting every mile of railroad track
That takes me back
[Outro]
I never thought my heart could be so yearning
Why did I decide to roam?
Got to take this sentimental journey
Sentimental journey home[x6]
Maybe I'd better go by plane!
