Gentle On My Mind - Hit Co. Masters[00:00:00]
It's knowin' that your door is always open and[00:00:09]
Your path is free to walk[00:00:12]
That makes me tend to leave my sleepin' bag rolled up[00:00:18]
And stashed behind your couch[00:00:21]
And it's knowin' I'm not shackled[00:00:27]
By forgotten 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]
And keeps you ever gentle on my mind[00:00:42]
It's not clingin' to the rocks and Ivy planted[00:00:49]
On their columns now that bind me[00:00:52]
Or somethin' that somebody said[00:00:58]
Because they thought we fit together walkin'[00:01:01]
It's just knowin' that the world will not be[00:01:07]
Cursing or forgiving[00:01:09]
When I walk along some railroad track and find[00:01:11]
That you're movin' on the backroads[00:01:18]
By the rivers of my memory[00:01:21]
And for hours you're just gentle on my mind[00:01:23]
Though the wheat fields and the clotheslines[00:01:29]
And the junkyards and the highways come between us[00:01:32]
And some other woman's crying to her mother[00:01:38]
'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[00:01:49]
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 walk alone the backroads[00:01:59]
By the rivers flowin' gentle on my mind[00:02:03]
I dip my cup of of soup back from a gurgling[00:02:09]
Cracklin' cauldron in some train yard[00:02:12]
My beard a roughened in a coal tile[00:02:18]
And a dirty hat pulled low across my face[00:02:21]
Through cupped hands round a tin can I pretend to[00:02:27]
Hold you to my breast and find[00:02:30]
That you're waitin' from the backroads[00:02:36]
By the rivers of my mem'ry[00:02:38]
Ever smilin' ever gentle on my mind[00:02:40]
