[N]
It's knowing that your door is always open and your path is [F#m] free to walk.
That makes me tend to keep my sleeping bag rolled up [B] and stashed [E] behind your couch.
It's knowing [B] I'm not shackled by forgotten [E] words and bonds.
I had the heat stains out of dried up old [F#m] sunlight.
That keeps you in the back roads by the rivers [B] of my memory.
[F#m] It keeps you ever [B] gentle on [E] my mind.
It's not clinging to the rocks and ivy planted on the [F#m] ground.
Or something that somebody [A] said because they thought [B] we fit in together [E] walking.
It's just knowing that the world will not be cursing or forgiving when I walk along some railroad [F#m] track in the sun.
That you're moving on the back roads [A] by the rivers of [B] my memory.
[F#m] And for hours [E] you'll just jiggle on my mind.
Though the wheat [D#] fields and the clotheslines [E] and the junkyards and the highways [F#m] come between us.
And some other woman's crying to her mother [B] cause she turned [E] and I was gone.
I still might [G#m] rot in the south, [B] the tears of joy might stain my face.
[E] And the summer [B] sun might burn me [F#m] till I'm fine.
But not to where I cannot see you walking the back roads by the rivers of [B] flowing gently [E] on my mind.
I dip my [G#m] cup of soup back [C#m] from a gurgling, a croaking, a cawing [F#m] in some train yard.
I barely [A] run a cold hot and a dirty [B] hat would blow [E] across my face.
Through cupped hands [B] around a tin can [E] I pretend to hold you to my [F#m] breast and smile.
That you're waving from the back roads by the rivers of [B] my memory.
[F#m] And ever smiling, [B] ever jiggling on my mind.
