Gentle On My Mind - Hit Crew Masters
It's knowin' that your door
Is always open
And your path is free to walk
That makes me tend to leave
My sleepin' bag
Rolled up and stashed
Behind your couch
And it's knowin'
I'm not shackled
By forgotten words and bonds
And the ink stains that have
Dried upon some line
That keeps you in the back roads
By the rivers of my memory
That keeps you ever gentle
On my mind
It's not clingin'
To the rocks and ivy
Planted on their columns
Now that bind me
Or something that
Somebody said because
They thought we fit
Together walkin'
It's just knowing that the world
Will not be cursing
Or forgiving
When I walk along
Some railroad track and find
That you're movin'
On the back roads
By the rivers of my memory
And for hours you're just gentle
On my mind
Though the wheat fields
And the clothes lines
And the junkyards and the highways
Come between us
And some other woman's cryin'
To her mother
'Cause she turned and I was gone
I still might run in silence
Tears of joy might stain my face
And the summer sun might burn me
Till I'm blind
But not to where I cannot see
You walkin' on the back roads
By the rivers flowin'
Gentle on my mind
I dip my cup of soup back
From a gurglin' cracklin' cauldron
In some train yard
My beard a rustlin' coal pile
And a dirty hat pulled low
Across my face
Through cupped hands 'round a tin can
I pretend to hold you
To my breast and find
That you're waitin'
From the back roads
By the rivers of my memory
Ever smilin' ever gentle
On my mind
