Gentle On My Mind - Billy White[00:00:00]
Written by:John Hartford[00:00:01]
It's knowin' that your door is always open[00:00:08]
And your path's free to walk[00:00:11]
That makes me tend to leave my sleepin' bag[00:00:17]
Rolled up and stashed behind your couch[00:00:20]
It's knowin' I'm not shackled by forgotten words or bonds[00:00:26]
And the ink stains that have dried upon some lines[00:00:30]
That keeps you on the backroads[00:00:36]
By the rivers of my memories[00:00:38]
That keeps you ever gentle on my mind[00:00:40]
It's not clingin' to the rocks and ivy[00:00:47]
Planted on the columns now that binds me[00:00:49]
Or somethin' that somebody said[00:00:55]
Because that thought we fit together walkin'[00:00:58]
It's just knowin' that the world will not be cursin' or forgivin'[00:01:03]
When I walk along some railroad track and find[00:01:08]
It's you wavin' from the backroads by the rivers of my memory[00:01:14]
And for hours you're just gentle on my mind[00:01:19]
Though wheat fields and the clotheslines[00:01:25]
And the junkyards and the highways come between us[00:01:27]
And some other woman cryin' to her mother[00:01:34]
'Cause she turned and I was gone[00:01:37]
I still might run in silence[00:01:42]
Tears of joy might stain my face[00:01:45]
And the summer sun might burn me till I'm blind[00:01:47]
But not to where[00:01:53]
I cannot see you walkin' on the backroads[00:01:54]
By the rivers flowin' gentle on my mind[00:01:58]
I'd dip my cup of soup back from them gurglin'[00:02:04]
Cracklin' cauldron in some trainyard[00:02:07]
My beard roughenin' coal pile[00:02:12]
Dirty hat pulled low 'cross my face[00:02:15]
Through cupped hands and a round tin can[00:02:21]
I pretend to hold you to my breast and find[00:02:23]
That you're wavin' from the backroads[00:02:29]
By the rivers of my memory[00:02:31]
Ever smilin' ever gentle on my mind[00:02:34]
