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 shackled by forgotten words and bonds and the ink stains that have dried upon some line,
4
That keeps you in the back roads by the rivers of my memory, that keeps you ever gentle on my mind.
5
It's not clinging to the rocks and ivy planted on their columns now that bind me,
6
Or something that somebody said because they thought we fit together walkin'.
7
It's just knowing that the world will not be cursing or forgiving when I walk along some railroad track and find
8
That you're moving on the back roads by the rivers of my memory and for hours you're just gentle on my mind.
9
Though the wheat fields and the clotheslines and the junkyards and the highways come between us,
10
And some other woman's crying to her mother 'cause she turned and I was gone.
11
I still might run in silence, tears of joy might stain my face and the summer sun might burn me till I'm blind,
12
But not to where I cannot see you walkin' on the back roads, by the rivers flowing gentle on my mind.
13
I dip my cup of soup back from a the gurglin', crackling cauldron in some train yard;
14
My beard a roughn'ning coal pile and a dirty hat pulled low across my face;
15
Through cupped hands 'round a tin can, I pretend to hold you to my breast and find,
16
That you're wavin' from the back roads by the rivers
