[D] [C]
[B] [E] [G] [Am] [G]
It's knowing that your door is always open and your path is free [D] to walk.
That makes me tend to leave my sleeping bag rolled up and stashed [G] behind your couch.
And it's knowing I'm not shackled by forgotten words and bonds and the exchange that have dried [D] upon some walls.
That keeps you in the back roads by the rivers of my memory, keeps you ever [G] gentle on my mind.
It's not clinging to the rocks and [Em] ivy planted on their columns [G#] now that [D] you're mine.
Or something that somebody said because they thought we fit together.
[G] Walk in.
It's just knowing that the world will not be cursing or forgiving when I walk along some [C#] railroad [Em] [D] track and find
that you're waving from the back roads by the rivers of my memory.
For hours you're just gentle [G] on my mind.

I dip my cup of soup back from the gurgling, crackling, cauldron [D] and some.
[G] [D]
[G] My beard a roughing in coal [Am] pile and a dirty hat [D] pulled low across [Em] my breath.
[G]
Through cup tans round a tin can I pretend to hold you to [C] my [D] breast.

[G] [D] That's your waving from the back roads by the rivers of my memory.

Oh, the wheat fields and the clotheslines and the junkyards and the highways.
[A#] [G] And some mother woman [D] crying to her mother because she turned [Em] and I was gone.
[G]
I still might run in silence, tears of joy might stain my face.
And a summer sun might burn me till [D] I'm blind.
But not to where I cannot see you walking on the back roads by the rivers flowing gentle on [G] my mind.
