lyrics

well it's knowing that your door is always open
And your path is free to walk
That makes me tend to leave my sleeping bag
Roll up and stash behind your couch
And it's knowing I'm not shackl
by forgotten words and bonds
And the ink stains that have dried upon some line
That keeps you in the backroads
By the rivers of my memory
And keeps you ever gentle on my mind

It's not clinging to the rocks and ivy
Planted on their columns now that bind us
Know a something that somebody said
Because they thought we fit together walking
It's just knowing that the world will not be cursing
or forgiving when I walk along some railroad track and find
That you're moving on the backroads
By the rivers of my memory
And for hours you're just gentle on my mind

Though the wheat fields and the clothes lines
And the junkyards and the highways come between us
And some other man's cryin' to his mother
'Cause he turned and I was gone
I still might run in silence tears of joy might stain my face
And the summer sun might burn me 'til I'm blind
But not to where I cannot see you movin on the backroads
By the rivers flowing gentle on my mind

I dip my cup of' soup from a gurglin'
crackling' coolder in some train yard
My ears a roofing cold peal, and
my dirty hats pull locals in my face
and through cup hands 'round the tin can
I pretend to hold you to my breast and find
that you're waiting from the backroads
by the rivers of my memories
ever smilin' ever gentle on my mind.
