Notes: | A wistful folk-country ballad about a man's wandering soul and the tender memory of a love that remains a constant companion in his thoughts, no matter where he roams. |
It's Gknowing that your Gmaj7door is always Gopen
And your Gmaj7path is free to Amwalk
That makes me tend to leave my sleeping bag
Rolled up and Dstashed behind your Gcouch Gmaj7 G Gmaj7
And it's Gknowing I'm not Gmaj7shackled
by for-Ggotten words and Gmaj7bonds
And the Gink stains that have Gmaj7dried if on some Amline
That keeps you in the back-roads by the rivers of my Dmemory
that keeps you ever Dgentle on my Gmind Gmaj7 G Gmaj7
It's not Gclinging to the Gmaj7rocks and ivy
GPlanted on the Gmaj7columns now that Ambinds me
Or something that somebody said
Because they thought we Dfit together Gwalking Gmaj7 G Gmaj7
It's just Gknowing that the Gmaj7world will not be Gcursing
Or for-Gmaj7giving when I Gwalk along some Gmaj7railroad track and Amfind
That you are moving on the back-roads by the rivers of my Dmemory
And for Amhours you're just Dgentle on my Gmind Gmaj7 G Gmaj7 G
GThough the wheat fields Gmaj7and the clothes Glines
And the Gjunkyards and the Gmaj7highways come be-Amtween us
And some other woman's cryin' to her mother
Cause she Dturned and I was Ggone
I Gstill might run in Gmaj7silence, tears of Gjoy might stain my face
And the Gmaj7summer sun might Gburn me 'til I'm Amblind
But not to where I cannot see you walkin' on the Dbackroads
By the Amrivers flowing Dgentle on my Gmind Gmaj7 G Gmaj7
I Gdip my cup of Gmaj7soup back from a Ggurglin'
Cracklin' Gmaj7cauldron in Gsome train Amyard
My beard a roughening coal Dpile,
And a Amdirty hat pulled Dlow a-Gcross my Gface Gmaj7 G Gmaj7
Through Gcupped Gmaj7hands 'round the Gtin can
I pretend to Gmaj7hold you Gto my breast and Amfind
That you're waiting from the backroads by the rivers of my Dmemories
Ever Amsmilin' ever Dgentle on my mind G
