[Eb]
It's knowing that your door is [Cm] always open and [Eb] your path is free [Fm] to walk
That makes me tend to leave my sleeping bag rolled up [Bb] and [Eb] stashed behind your couch
And it's knowing I'm not shackled by [Cm] forgotten words [Eb] and bonds
And the ink stains that are dried upon [Fm] some lines
That keeps you in the back roads by the rivers of [Bb] my memory
It keeps you ever gentle [Eb] on my mind
It's not clinging to the rocks and [Cm] ivy planted on [Eb] their columns [Fm] now that bind me
Or something [C] that somebody [Fm] said because they [Bb] thought we fit [Eb] together walking
It's just knowing [Gm] that the world will not [Cm] be cursing [Eb] or forgiving
When I walk along some railroad [Fm] track and find
That you're moving on the back roads by the rivers [Bb] of my memory
[Fm] And for hours [Bb] you're just gentle [Eb] on my mind
Though the wheat fields and the clotheslines and [Cm] the [Eb] junkyards and the highways [Fm] come between us
And some other woman's crying to her mother [Bb] cause she turned [Eb] and I was gone
I still might run in [Gm] silence, tears [Cm] of joy might stain my [Eb] face
And a summer sun might burn me [Fm] till I'm blind
But not to where I [C] cannot see you [Ab] walking [Bb] on the back [Fm] roads by the rivers [Bb] flowing gentle [Eb] on my mind
I dip my [Gm] cup of soup back [Cm] from a gurgling [Eb] crackling cauldron [Fm] in some train yard
My beard a ruffling [C] coal [Cm] pile and a dirty hat [Bb] pull low [Eb] across my face
Through cupped hands round the tin [Gm] can [Cm] I pretend to hold [Eb] you to my breast [Fm] and find
That you're waiting from [C] the back roads [Cm] by the rivers of my [Bb] memory
Ever [Fm] smiling, ever [Bb] gentle on [Eb] my mind
