1
It's knowing that your door is always open
2
And your path is free to walk
3
That makes me tend to leave my sleepin' bag
4
Rolled up and stashed behind your couch
5
And it's knowin' I'm not shacked by forgotten words and bones
6
And the ink stains that have dried upon some line
7
That keeps you in the back roads by the rivers of my mem'ry
8
That keeps you ever gentle on my mind
9
It's not clingin' to the rocks and I'd be planted
10
On their columns, now that binds me
11
Or somethin' that somebody said because
12
They thought we fit together walkin'
13
It's just knowin' that the world will not be cursin' or forgivin'
14
When I walk along some railroad track and find
15
That you're movin' on the back roads by the rivers of my mem'ry
16
And for hours you're just gentle on my mind
17
Though the wheat fields and the clothes lines
18
And the junk yards and the highways come between us
19
And some other woman's cryin' to her mother
20
'Cause she turned and I was gone
21
I still run in silence tears of joy might stain my face
22
And summer sun might burn me till I'm blind
23
But not to where I cannot see you walkin' on the back roads
24
By the rivers flowing gentle on my mind
25
I dipped my cup of soap back from
26
A gurglin' cracklin' caltron in some train yard
27
My beard a roughen coal pile and a dirty hat
28
Pulled low across my face
29
Through cupped hands round a tin can
30
I pretend I hold you to my breast and find
31
That you're wavin' from the back roads
32
By the rivers of my mem'ry
33
Ever smilin' ever gentle on my mind
34
That you're wavin' from the back roads
35
By the rivers of my mem'ry
36
Ever smilin' ever gentle on my mind
