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