  • (words & music by j. hartford)
  • Its knowin that your door is always open
  • And you path is free to walk
  • That makes me tend to keep my sleeping bag rolled up
  • And stashed behind your couch
  • Its knowin Im not shackled
  • By forgotten words and bonds
  • And the heat stains that have dried up on some lovin
  • That keeps you in the back roads
  • By the rivers of my memory
  • It keeps you ever gentle on my mind
  • Its not clinging to the rocks and ivy
  • Planted on their columns mellowed by me
  • Or something that somebody said
  • Because they thought wed fit together walking
  • Its just knowing that the world will not be cursin
  • Or forgiving when I walk along some railroad track and find
  • That youre moving on the back roads
  • By the rivers of my memory and for hours
  • Youre just gentle on my mind
  • Though the wheat fields and the clothes lines
  • And the junk yards and the highways come between us
  • And some other womans cryin to her mother
  • cause she turned and I was gone
  • I still might run in silence
  • Till the join might stain my face
  • And the summer sun might burn me till Im blind
  • But not to where I cannot see you
  • Walking in the back roads
  • By the rivers flowing gently on my mind
  • I dip my cup of soup from a gurgling,
  • Cracking cauldron in some train yard
  • Im barely runnin cold how
  • Have a dirty hat pulled low across my face
  • Who cupped hands around the tin cans
  • I pretend to hold you to my breast and find
  • That youre wavin from the back roads
  • By the rivers of my memory
  • Ever smiling never changes on my mind
