Gentle On My Mind - The Moody Brothers
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 up on 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 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
It's just knowing that the world
Will not be cursing or forgiving
When I walk along
Some railroad track by
That you're moving 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 crying 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
Walking on the back roads
By the rivers flowing gentle on my mind
Well I dip my cup of soup back
From the gurgling crackling caldron
In some train yard
My beard a roughening coal pile
And a dirty hat pulled low across my face
Through cupped hands around a tin
Can I pretend I hold you
To my breast and find
That you're waving from the back roads
By the river of my memory
And for hours you just gentle on my mind
Ever smiling ever gentle on my mind
