            [Verse]

C
It's knowing that your door is always open
                         Dm
And your path is free to walk
                      
That makes me tend to leave my sleeping bag
              G7                  C
Rolled up and stashed behind your couch
         

And it's knowing I'm not shackled by forgotten words and bonds
                                              Dm
And the ink stains that have dried if on some line
                       
That keeps you in the back-roads
                                               G7           C
By the rivers of my memory that keeps you ever gentle on my mind


It's not clinging to the rocks and ivy
                                      Dm
Planted on the columns now that binds me

Or something that somebody said
             G7                      C
Because they thought we fit together walking


It's just knowing that the world will not be cursing
                                                       Dm
Or forgiving when I walk along some railroad track and find 

That you are moving on the back-roads by the rivers of my memory
                          G7           C
And for hours you're just gentle on my mind


Though the wheat fields and the clothes lines
                                        Dm
And the junkyards and the highways come between us

And some other woman crying to her mother
          G7               C
Cause she turned and I was gone


I still might run in silence tears of joy might stain my face
                                          Dm
And the summer sun might burn me till I'm blind

But not to where I cannot see you walking on the back-roads
                      G7           C
By the rivers flowing gentle on my mind


I dip my cup of soup back from the gurgling 
                                Dm
Crackling caldron in some train yard

My beard a roughning coal pile and
            G7                   C
A dirty hat pulled low across my face


Through cupped hands 'round a tin can
                                      Dm
I pretend I hold you to my breast and find

That you're waving from the back-roads
                                             G7           C
By the rivers of my memory ever smiling ever gentle on my mind
