lyrics

It’s knowin’ 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 knowin’ I'm not shackled by forgotten words and bonds
And the ink stains that have dried up on 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 knowin’ that the world will not be cursin’ or forgivin’
When I walk along some railroad track and find
That you’re movin’ on the back roads by the rivers of my memory
And for hours you're just gentle on my mind
I dip my cup of soup back from the gurglin’ cracklin’ caldron
In some train yard
My beard a rufflin’ 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 river of my memories
Ever smilin’ ever gentle on my mind
