It's knowing that your door is always open |
| [00:25.54] |
And your path is free to walk |
| [00:37.52] |
That makes me tend to leave my sleeping bag |
| [00:42.70] |
Rolled up and stashed behind your couch |
| [00:51.13] |
And it's knowing I'm not shackled |
| [00:59.49] |
By forgotten words and bonds |
| [01:03.92] |
And the ink stains that are dried upon some line |
| [01:17.77] |
That keeps you in the backroads |
| [01:21.70] |
By the rivers of my memory |
| [01:26.39] |
That keeps you ever gentle on my mind |
| [01:34.13] |
. |
| [01:48.29] |
It's not clinging to the rocks and ivy |
| [01:54.65] |
Planted on their columns now that bind us |
| [02:06.51] |
Or something that somebody said |
| [02:11.75] |
Because they thought we fit together walking |
| [02:24.23] |
It's just knowing that the world will not be cursing |
| [02:31.03] |
Or forgiving when I walk along some railroad track and find |
| [02:46.13] |
That you're moving on the backroads |
| [02:51.38] |
By the rivers of my memory |
| [02:56.12] |
And for hours you're just gentle on my mind |
| [03:02.92] |
. |
| [03:18.02] |
Though the wheat fields and the clothes lines |
| [03:22.52] |
And the junkyards and the highways come between us |
| [03:30.93] |
And some other man's cryin' to his mother |
| [03:42.75] |
'Cause he turned and I was gone |
| [03:54.42] |
I still might run in silence tears of joy might stain my face |
| [04:02.40] |
And the summer sun might burn me 'til I'm blind |
| [04:16.79] |
But not to where I cannot see you walkin' on the backroads |
| [04:26.43] |
By the rivers flowing gentle on my mind |
| [04:32.79] |
. |
| [04:40.47] |
I dip my cup of soup back from a gurglin' |
| [04:44.28] |
Cracklin' caldron in some train yard |
| [04:51.14] |
My beard a rustling, cold towel, and |
| [05:02.38] |
A dirty hat pulled low across my face |
| [05:14.85] |
Through cupped hands 'round the tin can |
| [05:19.03] |
I pretend to hold you to my breast and find |
| [05:36.57] |
That you're waiting from the backroads |
| [05:42.43] |
By the rivers of my memories |
| [05:46.13] |
Ever smilin' ever gentle on my mind |
| [05:55.36] |
. |
| [05:56.43] |
