Gentle on My Mind
4in
D Dmaj7 D6
It's knowing that your door is always open
Dmaj7 Em
And your path is free to walk
Em
That makes me tend to leave my sleeping bag
A D
Rolled up and stashed behind your couch
D Dmaj7
And it's knowing I'm not shackled
D6 Dmaj7
By forgotten words and bonds
Em
And the ink stains that are dried upon some line
Em
That keeps you in the backroads
By the rivers of my memory
A D
That keeps you ever gentle on my mind
D Dmaj7 D6
It's not clinging to the rocks and ivy
Dmaj7 Em
Planted on their columns now that bind me
Em
Or something that somebody said
A D
Because they thought we fit together walking
D Dmaj7 D6
It's just knowing that the world will not be cursing
Dmaj7
Or forgiving when I walk along some railroad
Em
track and find
Em
That you're moving on the backroads
By the rivers of my memory
A D
And for hours you're just gentle on my mind
D Dmaj7
Though the wheat fields and the clothes lines
D6 Dmaj7 Em
And the junkyards and the highways come between us
Em
And some other woman's cryin' to her mother
A D
'Cause she turned and I was gone
D Dmaj7 D6
I still might run in silence, tears of joy might stain my face
Dmaj7 Em
And the summer sun might burn me 'til I'm blind
Em
But not to where I cannot see you walkin' on the backroads
A D
By the rivers flowing gentle on my mind
D Dmaj7 D6
I dip my cup of soup back from a gurglin'
Dmaj7 Em
Cracklin' caldron in some train yard
Em
My beard a rustling, cold towel, and
A D
A dirty hat pulled low across my face
D Dmaj7
Through cupped hands 'round the tin can
D6 Dmaj7 Em
I pretend to hold you to my breast and find
Em
That you're waiting from the backroads
By the rivers of my memories
A D
Ever smilin' ever gentle on my mind
