feat glen campbell johnny cash - gentle on my mind (feat. glen campbell) - johnny cash lyrics
well, 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
stashed behind your couch
and it’s knowin’ i’m not shackled by forgotten words and bonds
and the ink stains that have dried upon some lines
that keeps you in the back roads
by the rivers of my memory and keeps you ever gentle on my mind
it’s not clingin’ to the rocks and ivy
planted on their columns now that bind me
or somethin’ that somebody said ’cause
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
though the wheat fields and the coal mines and the junkyards
and the highways come between us
and some other woman’s cryin’ to her mother
’cause she turned and i was 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
i dip my cup of soup
from some gurglin’, cracklin’ cauldron in some train yard
my beard a roughenin’ coal pile
and a dirty hat pulled low across my face
through cupped hands ’round a tin can
i pretend to hold you to my breast and find
that you’re wavin’ from the back roads
by the rivers of my memory ever smilin’, ever gentle on my mind
