It's knowing that your door is always open and your path is free to walk [00:00:09]
That makes me tend to leave my sleeping bag rolled up and stashed behind your couch [00:00:18]
And it's knowing I'm not shackled by forgotten words and bonds [00:00:26]
And the ink stains that have dried upon some line [00:00:31]
That keeps you in the backroads by the rivers of my mem'ry [00:00:38]
That keeps you ever gentle on my mind [00:00:43]
It's not clinging to the rocks and ivy planted on their columns now that bind me [00:00:48]
Or something that somebody said because they thought we fit together walking [00:00:57]
It's just knowing that the world will not be cursing or forgiving [00:01:06]
When I walk along some railroad track and find [00:01:11]
That you're moving on the backroads by the rivers of my mem'ry [00:01:17]
And for hours you're just gentle on my mind [00:01:22]
Though the wheat fields and the clotheslines [00:01:28]
And the junkyards and the highways come between us [00:01:31]
And some other woman's crying to her mother cause she turned and I was gone [00:01:37]
I still might run in silence, tears of joy might stain my face [00:01:46]
And the summer sun might burn me till I'm blind [00:01:50]
But not to where I cannot see you walking on the backroads [00:01:57]
By the rivers flowing gentle on my mind [00:02:01]
I dip my cup of of soup back from a gurgling, crackling cauldron in some train yard [00:02:08]
My beard a roughened coal pile and a dirty hat pulled low across my face [00:02:17]
Through cupped hands round a tin can I pretend to hold you to my breast and find [00:02:25]
That you're wavin' from the backroads by the rivers of my mem'ry [00:02:34]
Ever smiling, ever gentle on my mind[00:02:38]
