Gentle On My Mind
It's knowing that your door is always open And your path is free to walk That makes me tend to leave my sleepin' bag Rolled up and stashed behind your couch
And it's knowin' I'm not shacked by forgotten words and bones 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 clingin' to the rocks and I'd be planted On their columns, now that binds me Or somethin' that somebody said because They thought we fit together walkin'
It's just knowin' that the world will not be cursin' or forgivin' 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 wheat fields and the clothes lines And the junk yards and the highways come between us And some other woman's cryin' to her mother Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com 'Cause she turned and I was gone
I still run in silence tears of joy might stain my face And summer sun might burn me till I'm blind But not to where I cannot see you walkin' on the back roads By the rivers flowing gentle on my mind
I dipped my cup of soap back from A gurglin' cracklin' caltron in some train yard My beard a roughen coal pile and a dirty hat Pulled low across my face
Through cupped hands round a tin can I pretend I hold you to my breast and find That you're wavin' from the back roads By the rivers of my mem'ry
Ever smilin' ever gentle on my mind That you're wavin' from the back roads By the rivers of my mem'ry Ever smilin' ever gentle on my mind
