Gentle On My Mind |
Well it’s knowing that your door is always open and your path is free to walk |
That makes me tend to keep 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 |
binds 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 cryin' to her mama 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 flowin' gentle on my mind |
I dipped my cup of soap back from a gurgling crackling 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 waving from the back roads by the rivers of my mem’ry |
Ever smiling ever gentle on my mind mhm |
