This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
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
Spend 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' every mile of railroad track
That takes me back
Never thought my heart could be so yearning
Why did I decide to roam?
Gotta take a sentimental journey
Sentimental journey home
I wanna go back home, way down to Nashville
Wanna go back home, do you know why?
I miss the folks I love, ma's home cooking
Sittin' 'round the fire at a catfish fry
I miss the black eyed peas, mustard greens
Candied yams, home baked baked beans
I wanna fill my lungs with Southern air
Sniff a whiff of ribs of barbeque and I'm there
Seven, that's the time we leave, at seven
I'll be waitin' up for heaven
Countin' every mile of railroad track
That takes me back
Never thought my heart could be so yearning
Why did I decide to roam?
Gotta take a sentimental journey
Sentimental journey home
We got the sixteen tons of number nine coal
The rock pile of money's gonna rock and roll
Roll, roll, roll
Carry me home
(All aboard) All aboard
Gonna set my heart at ease
Gonna make a sentimental journey
To renew old memories
Got my bag, I got my reservation
Spend 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' every mile of railroad track
That takes me back
Never thought my heart could be so yearning
Why did I decide to roam?
Gotta take a sentimental journey
Sentimental journey home
I wanna go back home, way down to Nashville
Wanna go back home, do you know why?
I miss the folks I love, ma's home cooking
Sittin' 'round the fire at a catfish fry
I miss the black eyed peas, mustard greens
Candied yams, home baked baked beans
I wanna fill my lungs with Southern air
Sniff a whiff of ribs of barbeque and I'm there
Seven, that's the time we leave, at seven
I'll be waitin' up for heaven
Countin' every mile of railroad track
That takes me back
Never thought my heart could be so yearning
Why did I decide to roam?
Gotta take a sentimental journey
Sentimental journey home
We got the sixteen tons of number nine coal
The rock pile of money's gonna rock and roll
Roll, roll, roll
Carry me home
(All aboard) All aboard

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again.
