I'll be right back, okay?
All right.
Hey, I got . . .
I know.
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 shackled
by forgotten words and bonds
And the ink stains that
are dried upon some line
That keeps you on the back roads
By the rivers of my memory
That keeps you ever
gentle on my mind
It's not clinging to
the rocks and ivy
Planted on their columns
now that bind me
Or something that somebody said
Because they thought we
fit together walking
It's just knowing that the world
will not be cursing or forgiving
When I walk along some
railroad track and find
That you're moving
on the back roads
By the rivers of my memory
And for hours you're
just gentle on my mind
Though the wheat fields
and the clothes lines
And the junkyards and the
highways come between us
And some other woman's
cryin' to her mother
'Cause she turned and I was gone
I still might run in silence
tears of joy might stain my face
And the summer sun might
burn me 'til I'm blind
Oh but not to where I cannot see
you walkin' on the back roads
By the rivers flowing
gentle on my mind.
I dip my cup of soup
back from a gurglin'
Cracklin' cauldron
in some train yard
My beard a rustling,
a cold towel,
A dirty hat pulled low across
my face (across my face)
Through cupped hands
'round the tin can
I pretend to hold you
to my breast and find
That you're waiting
from the back roads
By the rivers of my memories
Ever smilin' ever
gentle on my mind
Gentle on my mind
You are gentle on my mind
Oooo Oooo Oooo Yeah
