[C] [Cm] [C]
[F]
[Bb] It's knowing that your door is [G] always open and your path is [Cm] free to walk
That makes me tend to leave my sleeping bag rolled [F] up and stashed [Bb] behind your couch
And it's knowing I'm not shackled [Gm] by forgotten [Bb] words and bombs
And the ink stains that I've dried [Cm] upon some line
That keeps you [C] in the back roads [Cm] by the rivers of [F] my memory
[Cm] That keeps you [F] ever gentle [Bb] on my mind
[F]
It's not clinging to the rocks that I've e'en planted on their columns [Cm] now that binds me
Or something that somebody said because they thought [F] we'd been [Bb] together walking
It's just knowing that the world will not be cursed or forgiven
[Bb] But I'll walk along some railroad [Cm] track and find
That you're moving [G] on the back roads [Cm] by the rivers of [F] my memory
[Cm] And for hours [F] you're just gentle [Bb] on my [Cm] mind
[C] [Cm]
[Bb] [F]
[Bb] All the wheat fields and the clothes lines and the junkyards and the highways [Cm] come between us
And some other [G] woman's crying to [Cm] her mother cause [F] she turned and [Bb] I was gone
I still might run [F] in silence, [Bb] tears of joy might stain my face
And summer sun might burn me [Cm] till I'm blind
But not to where [G] I cannot see [Cm] you walking [F] on the back roads [Cm] by the rivers [F] flowing gentle on [Bb] my mind
I dip my cup of soup back from the gurgling crackling cauldron [Cm] in some train yard
My beard a [G] rustling cold cow and a dirty hat [F] pulls all across [Bb] my face
Through cupped hands round a tin can I pretend I hold you to my [Cm] breast and find
That you're wailing from [G] the back roads [Cm] by the rivers of [F] my memory
[Cm] Ever smiling, ever [F] gentle on [Bb] my mind
