Gentle On My Mind - John Hartford[00:00:01]

It's knowin' that your door is always open[00:00:04]

And your path is free to walk[00:00:08]

That makes me tend to leave[00:00:14]

My sleepin' bag[00:00:16]

Rolled up and stashed behind your couch[00:00:17]

And it's knowin'[00:00:23]

I'm not shackled by forgotten words and bonds[00:00:25]

And the ink stains[00:00:28]

That have dried upon some lines[00:00:29]

That keeps you in the back roads[00:00:36]

By the rivers of my memory[00:00:38]

And keeps you ever gentle on my mind[00:00:40]

It's not clingin' to the rocks and ivy[00:00:47]

Planted on their columns now that binds me[00:00:50]

Or somethin' that somebody said[00:00:57]

Because they thought we fit together walkin'[00:01:00]

It's just knowin'[00:01:07]

That the world will not be cursin' or forgivin'[00:01:08]

When I walk along[00:01:12]

Some railroad track and find[00:01:13]

That you're moving on the back roads[00:01:19]

By the rivers of my memory[00:01:21]

And for hours you're just gentle on my mind[00:01:24]

Although the wheat fields and the curled twines[00:01:31]

And the junkyards[00:01:34]

And the highways come between us[00:01:35]

And some other woman cryin' to her mother[00:01:41]

'Cause she turned and I was gone[00:01:44]

I still might run in silence[00:01:51]

Tears of joy might stain my face[00:01:53]

And the summer sun might burn me till I'm blind[00:01:56]

But not to where I cannot see you[00:02:03]

Walkin' on the back roads[00:02:06]

By the rivers flowin' gentle on my mind[00:02:08]

I dip my cup of soup back from the gurglin'[00:02:15]

Cracklin' cauldron in some train yard[00:02:19]

My beard a roughenin' coal pile[00:02:25]

And a dirty hat pulled low across my face[00:02:27]

Through cupped hands 'round a tin can[00:02:35]

I pretend to hold you to my breast and find[00:02:37]

That you're wavin' from the back roads[00:02:44]

By the rivers of my memory[00:02:47]

Ever smilin' ever gentle on my mind[00:02:49]
