(It's)
C Cmaj7 C6
1. It's know-ing that your door is al-ways o-pen
Cmaj7 Dm
And your path is free to walk
Dm7
That makes me tend to leave my sleep-ing bag
G7 C
Rolled up and stashed be-hind your couch
C Cmaj7 C6 Cmaj7
2. And it's know-ing I'm not shackled by for-got-ten words and bonds
C Dm
And the ink stains that have dried up on some line
Dm7 Dm6 Dm7
That keeps you in the back roads by the ri-vers of my mem-'ry
Dm G7 C
That keeps you ever gen-tle on my mind
C Cmaj7 C6
3. It's not cling-ing to the rocks and ivy plan-ted
Cmaj7 Dm
On their co-lumns now that binds me
Or some-thing that some-bo-dy said
Dm7 G7 C
Be-cause they thought we fit to-ge-ther walk-ing
C Cmaj7 C6 Cmaj7
4. It's just know-ing that the world will not be curs-ing or for-giv-ing
C Dm
When I walk a-long some rail-road track and find
Dm7 Dm6 Dm7
That you're mov-ing on the back road by the ri-vers of my mem-'ry
Dm G7 C
And for hours you're just gen-tle on my mind
C Cmaj7
5. Though the wheat fields and the clothes lines
C6 Cmaj7 Dm
And the junk-yards and the high-ways come be-tween us
Dm7
And some other wo-man's cry-in' to her mo-ther
G7 C
'Cause she turned and I was gone
C Cmaj7 C6 Cmaj7
6. I still might run in silence tears of joy might stain my face
C Dm
And the sum-mer sun might burn me 'til I'm blind
Dm7 Dm6 Dm7
But not to where I can-not see you walk-in' on the back-roads
Dm G7 C
By the ri-vers flow-ing gen-tle on my mind
C Cmaj7 C6
7. Well I dip my cup of soup back from the gurgl-ing crackl-ing
Cmaj7 Dm
Cauld-ron in some train yard
My beard a rust-ling coal pile
Dm7 G7 C
A dir-ty hat pulled low a-cross my face
C Cmaj7
8. Through cupped hands 'round a tin can
C6 Cmaj7 Dm
I pre-tend I hold you to my breast and find
Dm7 Dm6 Dm7
That you're wav-ing from the back roads by the ri-vers of my mem-'ry
Dm G7 C
E-ver smil-ing e-ver gen-tle on my mind
C6 C
Gen-tle on my mind
C6 C
Gen-tle on my mind
