It's Gknowing that your doorF is always oEmpen
And your G/Dpath is free to walk Am
That Ammakes me tend to AmM7leave my sleeping Am7bag
Rolled up and Dstashed behind yourG couch
And it's Gknowing I'm not shacFkled
By foEmrgotten words and G/Dbonds
And the Gink stains that are Gdried upon some Amline
That Amkeeps you on the AmM7back roads
By the Am7rivers of my Dmemory
That Amkeeps you ever Dgentle on my Gmind
It's not Gclinging to the rockFs and ivy
EmPlanted on their G/Dcolumns now that Ambind me
Or Amsomething that someAmM7body said
BeAm7cause they thought we Dfit together Gwalking
It's just Gknowing that the worlFd will not be Emcursing
Or forG/Dgiving when I Gwalk along some railroad track and Amfind
That you're Ammoving on the bacAmM7k roads
By the Am7rivers of my Dmemory
And for Amhours you're just Dgentle on my Gmind
Though the Gwheat fields and the clotFhes lines
And the Emjunkyards and the G/Dhighways come betAmween us
And some Amother woman's AmM7cryin' to her Am7mother
'Cause she Dturned and I was G gone
I Gstill might run in sileFnce tears of Emjoy might stain my G/Dface
And the Gsummer sun might burn me 'til I'm Amblind
Oh but Amnot to where I AmM7cannot see you Am7walkin' on the Dback roads
By the Amrivers flowing Dgentle on my Gmind
I Gdip my cup of soupF back from a Emgurglin'
Cracklin' G/Dcauldron in some Amtrain yard
My Ambeard* a rustling,AmM7 a cold towel,Am7
A dirty hat pulled Dlow across my Gface (across my face)
Through Gcupped hands 'round the tin F can
I preEmtend to hold you G/Dto my breast and Amfind
That you're Amwaiting from the AmM7back roads
By the Am7rivers of my Dmemories
Ever Amsmilin' ever Dgentle on my Gmind
Gentle on my mind
You are gentle on my EmminGd EmM7 G G
EmOohG EmM7 G G yeah G
