Gentle On My Mind-Elvis Presley[00:00:01]
It's knowin' that your door is always open[00:00:06]
And your path is free to walk[00:00:10]
That makes me tend to keep my sleeping bag rolled up[00:00:17]
And stashed behind your couch[00:00:22]
It's knowin' I'm not shackled[00:00:27]
By forgotten words and bonds[00:00:30]
And the ink stains that have dried upon some line[00:00:33]
That keeps you in the back roads[00:00:41]
By the rivers of my memory[00:00:43]
And keeps you ever gentle on my mind[00:00:46]
It's not clinging to the rocks and ivy[00:00:53]
Planted on their columns now that binds me[00:00:57]
Or something that somebody said[00:01:04]
Because they thought we fit together walking[00:01:07]
It's just knowing that the world will not be cursin'[00:01:14]
Or forgiving when I walk along some railroad track and find[00:01:18]
That you're moving on the back roads[00:01:27]
By the rivers of my memory and for hours[00:01:30]
You're just gentle on my mind[00:01:34]
Though the wheat fields and the clothes lines[00:01:40]
And the junk yards and the highways come between us[00:01:43]
And some other woman's cryin' to her mother[00:01:48]
'Cause she turned and I was gone[00:01:54]
I still might run in silence[00:02:01]
Tears of joy might stain my face[00:02:03]
And the summer sun might burn me 'till I'm blind[00:02:06]
But not to where I cannot see you[00:02:13]
Walking in the back roads[00:02:16]
By the rivers flowing gently on my mind[00:02:19]
I dip my cup of soup back from a gurgling [00:02:26]
Crackling cauldron in some train yard[00:02:29]
My beard a roughening coal pile[00:02:36]
And a dirty hat pulled low across my face[00:02:39]
With cupped hands around a tine can[00:02:46]
I pretend to hold you to my breast and find[00:02:49]
That you're wavin' from the back roads[00:02:56]
By the rivers of my memory[00:02:59]
Ever smiling ever gentle on my mind[00:03:01]
