You're what I call full of life.
It's knowing that your door is always open and your path is straight [Em] ahead.
That makes me tend to leave my sleeping bag [A] rolled up and stashed behind [D] your couch.
And it's knowing I'm not shackled by forgotten words and bonds.
And each stain's a little light upon [Em] sunlight.
That keeps you on the [B] back road [Em] by the rivers of [A] my memory.
[Em] It keeps you [A] ever gentle [D] on my mind.
And it's not clinging to the rocks and ivy planted on their columns now [Em] that bind me.
Or something that somebody said because they thought [D] we fit together to walk in.
It's just knowing that the world will not be cursing or forgiving when I walk along
some railroad track [Em] and find.
That you're moving on [B] the back road [Em] by the rivers of my [A] memory.
And [Em] for [A] hours you just settle [D] on my mind.
I'll play it.

[D] Or I may dip my couple suit back from a [Bm] gurgling [D] crackling cauldron in some [Em] train yard.
With my beard rubbed in co-piled and a dirty hat [A] pulled over across [D] my face.
With three cup hands round the tin can I pretend to hold you to my breast.
And I know I'm gonna [Em] find.
That you're waving from the back road by the rivers of my [A] memory.
[Em] Never smiling, [A] never gentle on [D] my mind.
And Herbalife, you're gentle on my [G] mind.
