===============================
It's knowing that your door is always open
And your path is free to walk
That tends to make me leave my sleeping bag
Rolled up and stashed behind your couch
And it's knowing that I'm not shackled
By forgotten words and bonds
And the ink stains that have
Dried up-on some line
That keeps you in the backroads
By the rivers of my mem'ry
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 walkin'
It's just knowing that the world
Will not be cursing or forgiving
When we walk along some
Railroad track and find
That you're moving on the backroads
By the rivers of my mem'ry
And for hours you're just
Gentle on my mind
'Though the wheat fields and clothes lines
And the junk yards and the
Highways come between us
And some other woman was 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
'til I'm blind
But not to where I cannot see you
Walkin' on the backroads
By the rivers flowing gentle on my mind
I dip my cup of soup back
From the gurglin' cracklin'
Cauldron in some train yard
My beard a roughning 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 smilin'
Ever gentle on my mind
