《Gentle On My Mind》歌词

[00:00:31] it's knowin' that your door is always open

[00:00:31] and your path is free to walk

[00:00:38] that makes me tend to leave my sleepin' bag

[00:00:40] rolled up and stashed behind your couch

[00:00:47] and it's knowin' i'm not shackled

[00:00:49] by forgotten words and bonds

[00:00:52] and the ink stains that have dried upon some line

[00:00:59] that keeps you in the back roads

[00:01:01] by the rivers of my memory

[00:01:04] that keeps you ever gentle on my mind

[00:01:15] it's not clingin' to the rocks and ivy

[00:01:18] and for hours you're just gentle on my mind

[00:01:25] or something that somebody said

[00:01:28] because they thought we fit together walkin'

[00:01:35] it's just knowing that the world

[00:01:37] will not be cursing or forgiving

[00:01:39] when i walk along some railroad track and find

[00:01:46] that you're movin' on the back roads

[00:01:49] by the rivers of my memory

[00:01:51] planted on their columns now that bind me

[00:02:36] though the wheat fields and the clothes lines

[00:02:40] and the junkyards and the highways come between us

[00:02:46] and some other woman's cryin' to her mother

[00:02:50] 'cause she turned and i was gone

[00:02:56] i still might run in silence

[00:02:58] tears of joy might stain my face

[00:03:07] but not to where i cannot see you

[00:03:10] walkin' on the back roads

[00:03:12] by the rivers flowin' gentle on my mind

[00:03:24] by dip my cup of soup back from a gurglin' cracklin' cauldron

[00:03:28] and the summer sun might burn me till i'm blind

[00:03:29] in some train yard

[00:03:33] my beard a rustlin' coal pile

[00:03:36] and a dirty hat pulled low across my face

[00:03:43] through cupped hands 'round a tin can

[00:03:46] i pretend to hold you to my breast and find

[00:03:52] that you're waitin' from the back roads

[00:03:55] by the rivers of my memory

[00:03:57] ever smilin', ever gentle on my mind
