Lyrics
This Ain't No Sentimental Journey
(c) 2007 Uncle Carl
If you're gonna travel by my side
I'm telling you now, there won't be no valentines
If you're comin' with me, hold on tight
Tell your momma and your poppa, farewell and goodbye
This ain't no sentimental journey
This ain't no sentimental journey
Listen, I don't go for that tender stuff
Leave your baggage behind with your broken hearts club
If you get homesick, you're not for me
'Cause I'm looking for adventure, not sweet memories
This ain't no sentimental journey
This ain't no sentimental journey
We could go for miles or just around the block
I'm makin' no promises, be clear from the start
I won't be your knight or your Romeo
Forget all your fantasies, baby we're going roam
We're gonna roam
This ain't no sentimental journey, child
We'll tune out the love songs on the radio
And drown all the colors of the pretty rainbow
This ain't no sentimental journey
This ain't no sentimental journey
