Lyrics
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, 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
