Generate meaning
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 sleeping bag
4
Rolled up and stashed behind your couch
5
And it's knowing I'm not shackled
6
By forgotten words and bonds
7
And the ink stains that have dried upon some line
8
That keeps you in the backroads
9
By the rivers of my memory
10
That keeps you ever gentle on my mind
11
It's not clinging to the rocks and ivy
12
Planted on their columns now that binds me
13
Or something that somebody said
14
Because they thought we fit together walking
15
It's just knowing that the world will not be cursing or forgiving
16
When I walk along some railroad track and find
17
That you are moving on the backroads
18
By the rivers of my memory
19
And for hours you're just gentle on my mind
20
Though the wheat fields and the clothes lines
21
And the junkyards and the highways come between us
22
And some other woman's crying to her mother
23
'Cause she turned and I was gone
24
I still might run in silence tears of joy might stain my face
25
And the summer sun might burn me 'til I'm blind
26
But not to where I cannot see you walking on the backroads
27
By the rivers flowing gentle on my mind
28
I dip my cup of soup back from the gurgling
29
crackling cauldron in some train yard
30
My beard a rufflin' coal pile
31
A dirty hat pulled low across my face
32
Through cupped hands 'round a tin can
33
I pretend I hold you to my breast and I find
34
That you're waving from the backroads
35
By the rivers of my memory
36
Ever smiling, ever gentle on my mind
