Gentle On My Mind

It's knowing that your door is always open

  • It's knowing that your door is always open
  • And your path is free to walk
  • That makes me tend to leave my sleeping bag rolled up
  • And stashed behind your couch
  • And it's knowing i'm not shacked by forgotten words and bons
  • And the ink stains that have dried upon some line
  • That keeps you in the back roads by the rivers of my mem'ry
  • That keeps you ever gentle on my mind
  • It's not clinging to the rocks and i'd be planted on their columns now that bind me
  • Or something that somebody said because they thought we fit together walking
  • It's just knowin' that the world will not be cursin' or forgiving
  • When i walk along some railroad track and find
  • That you're movin' on the back roads by the rivers of my mem'ry
  • And for hours you're just gentle on my mind
  • Though the wheet fields and the clothes lines
  • And the junk yards and the highways come between us
  • And some other woman crying to her mother cause she turned and i was gone
  • I still might run in silence tears of joy might stain my face
  • And a summer sun might burn me till i'm blind
  • But not to where i cannot see you walking on the back roads
  • By the rivers flowing gentle on my mind
  • I dip my cup of soup back from the gurglin'
  • Cracklin' caldron in some train yard
  • My beard a-rufflin'cold cowl
  • A dirty hat pulled low across my face
  • Through cupped hands 'round a tin can
  • I pretend to hold you to my breast and find
  • That you're waving from the backroads
  • By the rivers of my mem'ry
  • Ever smilin' ever gentle on my mind
