- Verse:
- Ev'ry rolling stone gets
to feel alone, When home, sweet home is far away.
- I'm a rolling stone who's
been so alone, Until today.
-
- Chorus:
- Gonna take a Sentimental
Journey, Gonna set my heart at ease,
- Gonna make a Sentimental
Journey, To renew old memories.
- Got my bag, I got my reservation,
Spent each dime I could afford.
- Like a child in wild anticipation,
Long to hear that "All aboard."
- Seven, that's the time we
leave, at seven. I'll be waitin' up for Heaven,
- Countin' ev'ry mile of railroad
track that takes me back.
- Never thought my heart could
be so "yearny." Why did I decide to roam?
- Gotta take this Sentimental
Journey, Sentimental Journey Home.
