Elvis Presley - Gentle On My Mnd Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • It's 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
  • It's knowin' I'm 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
  • It's not clinging to the rocks and ivy
  • Planted on their columns mellowed by me
  • Or something that somebody said
  • Because they thought we'd fit together walking
  • It's just knowing that the world will not be cursin'
  • Or forgiving when I walk along some railroad track and find
  • That you're moving 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 clothes lines
  • And the junk yards 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
  • Till' the join might stain my face
  • And the summer sun might burn me 'till I'm 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
  • I'm 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 you're wavin' from the back roads
  • By the rivers of my memory
  • Ever smiling never changes on my mind
