Gentle On My Mind Lyrics - Good'le Days: Essential Recordings - John Hartford

Okay I'm not done yet. I'll continue after work. 

It's knowing that your door is always open 

And that you path is free to walk 

That makes me tend leave my sleeping bag rolled up 

And stashed behind yer couch 

And it's knowing I'm not shackled by forgotten words and bonds 

And the ink stains dried upon some line 

That keeps you in back roads by the rivers of my memory 

Keeps you ever gentle on my mind

Not clinging to the rocks and ivy planted on their columns 

Now that binds me 

Or something that 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 tracks and find 

That you're waving from the back roads by the rivers of my memory 

For hours you're just gentle on my mind 

All the wheat fields, and the clotheslines, and the highways come between us 

And some other woman 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 a summer sun might burn me til I'm blind 

But not to where I cannot see you walking on the back roads 

By the rivers flowing gentle on my mind

I dip my cup of soup back from a gurgling crackling cauldron in some train yard

And a dirty hat pulled low across my face 

Through cupped hands, 'round a tin can 

I pretend to hold you to my breast and find 

That you're wavin' from the back roads 

Ever smiling, ever gentle on my mind
