时长: 03:05
It's knowing that your door is always open[00:00:10]
And your path is free to walk[00:00:12]
That makes me tend to leave my sleeping bag[00:00:18]
Rolled up and stashed behind your couch[00:00:21]
And it's knowing I'm not shackled by[00:00:27]
Forgotten words and bonds[00:00:29]
And the ink stains that have dried up on some line[00:00:31]
That keeps you in the back roads by[00:00:38]
The rivers of my memory[00:00:41]
That keeps you ever gentle on my mind [00:00:43]
It's not clinging to the rocks and ivy planted on[00:00:49]
Their columns now that binds me[00:00:53]
Or something that somebody said[00:00:58]
Because they thought we fit together walking[00:01:00]
It's just knowing that the world will not be[00:01:07]
Cursing or forgiving when I walk along[00:01:10]
Some railroad track and find[00:01:13]
That you are moving on the backroads[00:01:18]
By the rivers of my mem'ry[00:01:20]
And for hours you're just gentle on my mind[00:01:23]
Though the wheat fields and the clothes lines[00:01:30]
And the junkyards and the highways come between us[00:01:31]
And some other woman crying to her mother[00:01:38]
'Cause she turned and I was gone[00:01:41]
I still might run in silence[00:01:47]
Tears of joy might stain my face[00:01:49]
And the summer sun might burn me 'til I'm blind[00:01:51]
But not to where I cannot see[00:01:58]
You walkin' on the backroads[00:02:00]
By the rivers flowing gentle on my mind[00:02:02]
I dip my cup of soup back from the gurglin'[00:02:10]
Cracklin' caldron in some train yard[00:02:12]
My beard a-rufflin'cold cowl[00:02:18]
A dirty hat pulled low across my face[00:02:21]
Through cupped hands 'round a tin can[00:02:27]
I pretend I hold you to my breast and find[00:02:29]
That you're waving from the backroads[00:02:36]
By the rivers of my mem'ry[00:02:38]
Ever smilin' ever gentle on my mind[00:02:40]
