Gentle on My Mind - Alison Krauss[00:00:02]
Written by:John Hartford[00:00:05]
It's knowing that your door is always open[00:00:14]
And your path is free to walk[00:00:17]
That makes me tend to leave my sleeping bag[00:00:24]
Rolled up and stashed behind your couch[00:00:27]
And it's knowing I'm not shackled[00:00:33]
By forgotten words and bonds[00:00:36]
And the ink stains that are dried up on some line[00:00:38]
That keeps you in the backroads[00:00:46]
By the rivers of my memory[00:00:48]
And keeps you ever gentle on my mind[00:00:51]
It's not clinging to the rocks and ivy[00:00:58]
Planted on their columns now that bind me[00:01:01]
Or something that somebody said[00:01:08]
Because they thought we fit together walking[00:01:11]
It's just knowing that the world[00:01:18]
Will not be cursing or forgiving[00:01:20]
When I walk along some railroad track and find[00:01:23]
That you're moving on the backroads[00:01:30]
By the rivers of my memory[00:01:33]
And for hours you're just gentle on my mind[00:01:35]
Though the wheat fields and the clothes lines[00:01:43]
And the junkyards and the highways come between us[00:01:45]
And some other woman's crying to her mother[00:01:53]
'Cause she turned and you were gone[00:01:56]
I still might run in silence[00:02:03]
Tears of joy might stain my face[00:02:05]
And the summer sun might burn me 'til I'm blind[00:02:08]
But not to where I cannot see[00:02:15]
You walking on the backroads[00:02:17]
By the rivers flowing gentle on my mind[00:02:20]
You dip your cup of soup back from a gurgling[00:02:27]
Crackling caldron in some train yard[00:02:30]
Your beard a roughening coal pile[00:02:37]
And a dirty hat pulled low across your face[00:02:40]
Through cupped hands 'round the tin can[00:02:47]
I pretend to hold you to my breast and find[00:02:49]
That you're waiting from the backroads[00:02:57]
By the rivers of my memories[00:02:59]
Ever smiling ever gentle on my mind[00:03:02]
