I love the line “Countin’ every mile of railroad track that takes me back…“

I’ve always loved this song… from the time I was a child of five. I am originally from Gettysburg PA. This past weekend I went to a historic event there, and although I enjoyed it, ever since I returned I’ve been singing aloud “ sentimental journey“, sentimental journey home. I now know every word of the lyrics and think this is one of the most heartfelt songs ever written. Doris Day sings it beautifully and Les Brown’s band plays it perfectly! Have often wondered if it was an emotional journey or physical one. Now I know and it makes me feel incredible longing.

In reply to Neven. Oh great questions. 'Dime' is an informal word for a 5 cent coin in the US. When she says she's in wild anticipation she means that she is very excited about what will happen in the future.

My sentimental journey is going back to my childhood time.
Thank you Vicki for sharing this lovely song, but I would like to ask you. What’ s the meaning of ” spent each dime” and ” wild anticipation”?
