Gentle On My Mind - The Petersens

♪ ♪ [Julianne] It's knowin' that your door is always open and your path is free to walk ♪ ♪ That makes me tend to leave my sleepin' bag rolled up and stashed behind your couch ♪ ♪ An' it's knowin' I'm not shackled by forgotten words and bonds ♪ ♪ And the ink stains that have dried upon some line ♪ ♪ That keeps you on the back roads by the rivers of my memory ♪ ♪ That keeps you ever gentle on my mind ♪ ♪ An' it's not clingin' to the rocks and ivy planted on their columns now that bind me ♪ [cat cameo] ♪ Or somethin' 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 ♪ [Julianne mandolin] [Katie fiddle] ♪ Though the wheat fields and the coast lines ♪ ♪ And the junkyards and the highways flow between us ♪ ♪ And some other woman's cryin' to her mother 'cause she turned and you were gone ♪ ♪ I still might run in silence, tears of joy might stain my face ♪ ♪ And the 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 flowin' gentle on my mind ♪ [Matt guitar] [Emmett dobro] ♪ You dip your cup of soup back from a gurglin' cracklin' caldron in some train yard ♪ ♪ Your beard a rustlin' coal pile and a dirty hat pulled low across your face ♪ ♪ Through cupped hands 'round a tin can I pretend to hold you to myself and find ♪ ♪ That you're waiting from the back roads by the rivers of my memory ♪ ♪ Ever smilin', ever gentle on my mind ♪ ♪ ♪♪
