Gentle on My Mind - MC Vintage[00:00:01]
It's knowing that your door is always open[00:00:10]
And your path is free to walk[00:00:13]
That makes me tend to leave my sleeping bag[00:00:19]
Rolled up and stashed behind your couch[00:00:21]
And it's knowing I'm not shackled[00:00:27]
By forgotten words and bonds[00:00:29]
And the ink stains that are dried upon some line[00:00:32]
That keeps you in the backroads[00:00:38]
By the rivers of my memory[00:00:40]
That keeps you ever gentle on my mind[00:00:42]
It's not clinging to the rocks and ivy[00:00:49]
Planted on their columns now that bind me[00:00:51]
Or something that somebody said[00:00:57]
Because they thought we fit together walking[00:01:00]
It's just knowing that the world will not be cursing[00:01:06]
Or forgiving when I walk along some railroad track and find[00:01:09]
That you're moving on the backroads[00:01:16]
By the rivers of my memory[00:01:19]
And for hours you're just gentle on my mind[00:01:21]
Though the wheat fields and the clothes lines[00:01:28]
And the junkyards and the highways come between us[00:01:30]
And some other woman's cryin' to her mother[00:01:36]
'Cause she turned and I was gone[00:01:39]
I still might run in silence tears of joy might stain my face[00:01:45]
And the summer sun might burn me 'til I'm blind[00:01:49]
But not to where I cannot see[00:01:56]
You walkin' on the backroads[00:01:58]
By the rivers flowing gentle on my mind[00:02:00]
I dip my cup of soup back from a gurglin'[00:02:06]
Cracklin' caldron in some train yard[00:02:09]
My beard a roughening coal pile[00:02:15]
And a dirty hat pulled low across my face[00:02:17]
Through cupped hands 'round the tin can[00:02:24]
I pretend to hold you to my breast and find[00:02:26]
That you're waiting from the backroads[00:02:32]
By the rivers of my memories[00:02:34]
Ever smilin' ever gentle on my mind[00:02:36]
