It's | [C] knowin' that your | [Cmaj7] door is always | [C6] open
And your | [Cmaj7] path is free to | [Dm] walk | [Faug] | [F] | [Faug]
That | [Dm] makes me tend to | [Faug] leave my sleepin' | [F] bag rolled up
And | [G7] stashed behind your | [C] couch | [Cmaj7] | [C6] | [Cmaj7]
And it's | [C] knowin' I'm not | [Cmaj7] shackled by for- | [C6] gotten words and | [Cmaj7] bonds
And the | [C] ink stains that have | [Cmaj7] dried upon some | [Dm] line | [Faug] | [F] | [Faug]
That | [Dm] keeps you in the | [Faug] backroads by the | [F] rivers of my | [G7] mem'ry
And | [Dm] keeps you ever | [G7] gentle on my | [C] mind | [Cmaj7] | [C6] | [Cmaj7]

It's not | [C] clingin' to the | [Cmaj7] rocks and ivy
| [C6] Planted on their | [Cmaj7] columns now that | [Dm] binds me | [Faug] | [F] | [Faug]
Or | [Dm] something that some- | [Faug] body said
Be- | [F] cause they thought we'd | [G7] fit together | [C] walkin' | [Cmaj7] | [C6] | [Cmaj7]
It's just | [C] knowin' that the | [Cmaj7] world will not be | [C6] cursin' or for- | [Cmaj7] givin'
When I | [C] walk along some | [Cmaj7] railroad track and | [Dm] find | [Faug] | [F] | [Faug]
That you're | [Dm] movin' on the | [Faug] backroads by the | [F] rivers of my | [G7] mem'ry
And for | [Dm] hours you're just | [G7] gentle on my | [C] mind | [Cmaj7] | [C6] | [Cmaj7]

Though the | [C] wheat fields and the | [Cmaj7] clotheslines and the | [C6] junkyards
And the | [Cmaj7] highways come be- | [Dm] tween us | [Faug] | [F] | [Faug]
And some | [Dm] other woman's | [Faug] cryin' to her | [F] mother
'Cause she | [G7] turned and I was | [C] gone | [Cmaj7] | [C6] | [Cmaj7]
I | [C] still might run in | [Cmaj7] silence, tears of | [C6] joy might stain my | [Cmaj7] face
And the | [C] summer sun might | [Cmaj7] burn me 'til I'm | [Dm] blind | [Faug] | [F] | [Faug]
But | [Dm] not to where I | [Faug] cannot see you | [F] walkin' on the | [G7] backroads
By the | [Dm] rivers flowin' | [G7] gentle on my | [C] mind | [Cmaj7] | [C6] | [Cmaj7]

I | [C] dip my cup of | [Cmaj7] soup back from a | [C6] gurglin', cracklin' | [Cmaj7] cauldron
In some | [Dm] trainyard | [Faug] | [F] | [Faug]
My | [Dm] beard a roughnin' | [Faug] coal pile
And a | [F] dirty hat pulled | [G7] low across my | [C] face | [Cmaj7] | [C6] | [Cmaj7]
Through | [C] cupped hands, 'round the | [Cmaj7] tin can, I pre- | [C6] tend
To hold you | [Cmaj7] to my breast and | [Dm] find | [Faug] | [F] | [Faug]
That you're | [Dm] wavin' from the | [Faug] backroads by the | [F] rivers of my | [G7] mem'ry
Ever | [Dm] smilin' ever | [G7] gentle on my | [C] mind | [Cmaj7] | [C6] | [Cmaj7] | [C!]
