John Hartford Gentle on My Mind lyrics

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
rolled up and stashed behind your couch.

And it's knowing I'm not shackled
by forgotten words and bonds and the ink stains
that have dried upon some line,
That keeps you in the back roads
by the rivers of my memory,
that keeps you ever gentle on my mind.

It's not clinging to the rocks and ivy
planted on their columns now that binds me,
Or something that somebody said
because they thought we fit together walkin'.
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 back roads
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 woman's crying to her mother
'cause she turned and I was gone.
I still might run in silence,
tears of joy might stain my face
and summer sun might burn me till I'm blind,
But not to where I cannot see you
walkin' on the back roads,
by the rivers flowing gentle on my mind.

I dip my cup of soup back
from the gurglin', crackling cauldron
in some train yard;
My beard a roughn'ning coal pile
and a dirty hat pulled low across my face;
Through cupped hands 'round a tin can,
I pretend I hold you to my breast and find,
That you're wavin' from the back roads
by the rivers of my memory ever smilin',
ever gentle on my mind.
