What's this song about?
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
4
And the ink stains that have dried upon some line
5
That keeps you in the backroads by the rivers of my mem'ry
6
That keeps you ever gentle on my mind
7
It's not clinging to the rocks and ivy planted on their columns now that bind me
8
Or something that somebody said because they thought we fit together walking
9
It's just knowing that the world will not be cursing or forgiving
10
When I walk along some railroad track and find
11
That you're moving on the backroads by the rivers of my mem'ry
12
And for hours you're just gentle on my mind
13
Though the wheat fields and the clotheslines
14
And the junkyards and the highways come between us
15
And some other woman's crying 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 backroads
19
By the rivers flowing gentle on my mind
20
I dip my cup of of soup back from a gurgling, crackling cauldron in some train yard
21
My beard a roughened 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 wavin' from the backroads by the rivers of my mem'ry
24
Ever smiling, ever gentle on my mind
