Gentle On My Mind - howard carpendale[00:00:01]
Written by:John Hartford[00:00:03]
It's knowin' that your door is always open[00:00:09]
And you path is free to walk[00:00:13]
That makes me tend to keep my sleeping bag rolled up[00:00:19]
And stashed behind your couch[00:00:22]
It's knowin' I'm not shackled[00:00:28]
By forgotten words and bonds[00:00:30]
And the heat stains that have dried up on some lane[00:00:33]
That keeps you in the back roads[00:00:38]
By the rivers of my memory[00:00:40]
It keeps you ever gentle on my mind[00:00:43]
It's not clinging to the rocks and ivy[00:00:50]
Planted on their columns mellowed by me[00:00:53]
Or something that somebody said[00:01:00]
Because they thought we'd fit together walking[00:01:02]
It's just knowing that the world will not be cursin'[00:01:09]
Or forgiving when I walk along some railroad track and find[00:01:13]
That you're moving on the back roads[00:01:21]
By the rivers of my memory and for hours[00:01:24]
You're just gentle on my mind[00:01:27]
Though the wheat fields and the clothes lines[00:01:33]
And the junk yards and the highways come between us[00:01:36]
And some other woman's cryin' to her mother[00:01:43]
Cause she turned and I was gone[00:01:46]
I still might run in silence[00:01:53]
Til' the join might stain my face[00:01:55]
And the summer sun might burn me till I'm blind[00:01:58]
But not to where I cannot see you[00:02:05]
Walking on the back roads[00:02:08]
By the rivers flowing gently on my mind[00:02:10]
I dip my cup of soup from a gurgling[00:02:17]
Cracking cauldron in some train yard[00:02:20]
I'm barely runnin' cold how[00:02:27]
Have a dirty hat pulled low across my face[00:02:29]
Who cupped hands around the tin cans[00:02:36]
I pretend to hold you to my breast and find[00:02:38]
That you're wavin' from the back roads[00:02:46]
By the rivers of my memory[00:02:48]
Ever smiling never gentle on my mind[00:02:51]
Oh pretty gentle man[00:02:56]
