Gentle On My Mind - Bobbie Gentry[00:00:00]
Its knowing that your door is always open[00:00:08]
And your path is free to walk[00:00:10]
That makes me tend to leave my sleeping bag[00:00:17]
Rolled up and stashed behind your couch[00:00:19]
And its knowing I'm not shackled by forgotten words and bonds[00:00:25]
And the ink stains that have dried upon some line[00:00:29]
That keeps you on the backroads[00:00:36]
By the rivers of my memory[00:00:37]
It keeps you ever gentle on my mind[00:00:40]
It's not clinging to the rocks and ivy[00:00:46]
Planted On their columns now that binds me[00:00:49]
Or something that somebody said[00:00:55]
Because they thought we fit together walking[00:00:58]
Its just knowing that the world will not be cursing or forgiving[00:01:03]
When I walk along some railroad track and find[00:01:08]
That you're moving on the backroads[00:01:14]
By the rivers of my memory[00:01:16]
And for hours you're just gentle on my mind[00:01:18]
Through the wheat fields and the clotheslines[00:01:25]
And the junkyards and the highways come between us[00:01:27]
And some other woman crying to her mother[00:01:33]
Cause she turned and I was gone[00:01:36]
I still might run in silence[00:01:42]
Tears of joy might stain my face[00:01:44]
And a summer sun might burn me till I'm blind[00:01:46]
But not to where I cannot see you[00:01:53]
Walking on the backroads[00:01:55]
By the rivers flowing gentle on my mind[00:01:56]
The shutters creak and autumn winds[00:02:03]
That Make me draw inside myself in silence[00:02:06]
Cross legged now I sit and watch[00:02:12]
The endless chase of leaves across my yard[00:02:14]
And laying down my hairbrush[00:02:20]
I lean back within my window seat and find[00:02:22]
That you're moving on the backroads[00:02:29]
By the rivers of my memory[00:02:31]
Ever smiling ever gentle on my mind[00:02:33]
Through cupped hands 'round a tin can[00:02:40]
I pretend I hold you to my breast and find[00:02:42]
That you're waving from the backroads[00:02:48]
By the rivers of my memory[00:02:50]
Ever smilin' ever gentle on my mind[00:02:52]
