Gentle On My Mind - King of the Road[00:00:00]
It's knowing that your door is always open[00:00:09]
And your path is free to walk[00:00:12]
That makes me tend to leave my sleeping bag rolled up[00:00:18]
And stashed behind your couch[00:00:21]
And it's knowing I'm not shackled by forgotten[00:00:26]
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[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[00:00:49]
And ivy planted on their columns now that binds me[00:00:50]
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[00:01:06]
Will not be cursing or forgiving when I walk along[00:01:08]
Some railroad tracking fine[00:01:12]
That you're waving from the back roads[00:01:17]
By the river of my memory[00:01:20]
And for hours you're just gentle on my mind [00:01:22]
Though the wheat fields and the clothes lines[00:01:29]
And the junkyards and the highways come between us[00:01:31]
And some other woman's cryin' to her mother[00:01:37]
'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[00:01:48]
And the summer sun might burn me till I'm blind[00:01:51]
But not to where[00:01:58]
I cannot see you walkin' on the back roads[00:01:59]
By the rivers flowin' gentle on my mind[00:02:02]
I dip my cup of soup back[00:02:09]
From a gurglin' cracklin' cauldron[00:02:11]
In some train yard[00:02:13]
My beard a rustlin' coal pile[00:02:18]
And a dirty hat pulled low across my face[00:02:20]
Through cupped hands 'round a tin can[00:02:27]
I pretend to hold you to my breast and find[00:02:29]
That you're waitin' from the back roads[00:02:35]
By the rivers of my memory ever smilin' [00:02:38]
Ever gentle on my mind[00:02:41]
