Gentle On My Mind - Lou Rawls
It's knowing that your
Door is always open
And your path is free to walk
That makes me tend to
Leave my sleeping bag
Rolled up and stashed
Behind your couch
And it's knowing I'm not shackled
By forgotten words and bonds
And the ink stains that
Have dried upon some line
That keeps you in the backroads
By the rivers of my mem'ry
That keeps you ever gentle on my mind
Gentle on my mind
It's not clinging to
The rocks and ivy
Planted on their
Columns now that binds me
Or something that somebody said
Because they thought we
Fit together walking
Walking
It's just knowing that the
World will not be cursing
Or forgiving when I walk along
Some railroad track and find
That you are moving on the backroads
By the rivers of my mem'ry
And for hours you're
Just gentle on my mind
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
Crying to her mother
'Cause she turned and I was gone
I was gone
I still might run in silence
Tears of joy might stain my face
And the summer sun might
Burn me 'til I'm blind
But not to where I cannot
See you walkin' on the backroads
By the rivers flowing gentle on my mind
Gentle on my mind
Gentle on my mind
Gentle on my mind
Gentle on my mind
We gentle on my mind
