(intro) [G]

[G]

1. Well, it's knowing that your door is always open,

[Am]

and your path is free to walk,

[D]

that makes me tend to leave my sleeping bag rolled up

[G]

and stashed behind your couch.

[G]

And it's knowing I'm not shackled by forgotten words and bonds,

[Am]

and the ink stains that have dried upon some lines,

[D]

that keeps you in the back roads by the rivers of my memory,

[G]

and keeps you ever gentle on my mind.

[G]

2. It's not clinging to the rocks and ivy

[Am]

planted on their columns now that bind me,

[D]

or something that somebody said because

[G]

they thought we fit together walking.

[G]

It's just knowing that the world will not be cursing or forgiven,

[Am]

when I walk along some railroad track and find

[D]

that you're moving on the back roads by the rivers of my memory,

[G]

and for hours you're just gentle on my mind.

[G]

3. Though the wheat fields and the coal mines and the junkyards

[Am]

and the highways come between us,

[D]

and some other woman's crying to her mother,

[G]

'cause she turned and I was gone.

[G]

I still might run in silence, tears of joy might stain my face,

[Am]

and the summer sun might burn me till I'm blind,

[D]

but not to where I cannot see you walking on the back roads

[G]

by the rivers flowing gentle on my mind.

[G]

4. I dip my cup of soup from some gurgling, crackling cauldron

[Am]

in some train yard,

[D]

my beard a roughening coal pile

[G]

and a dirty hat pulled low across my face.

[G]

Through cupped hands round a tin can

[Am]

I pretend to hold you to my breast and find

[D]

that you're waving from the back roads by the rivers of my memory,

[G]

ever smiling, ever gentle on my mind.
