Gentle On My Mind - Elvis Presley

[00:06.93]It's knowin'that your door is always open
[00:09.707]And you path is free to walk
[00:16.405]That makes me tend to keep my sleeping bag rolled up
[00:20.962]And stashed behind your couch
[00:24.71]
[00:27.92]It's knowin'I'm not shackled
[00:29.152]By forgotten words and bonds
[00:31.663]And the heat stains that have dried up on some lovin'
[00:40.432]That keeps you in the back roads
[00:42.985]By the rivers of my memory
[00:46.03]It keeps you ever gentle on my mind
[00:53.273]
[00:53.773]It's not clinging to the rocks and ivy
[00:56.336]Planted on their columns mellowed by me
[01:03.961]Or something that somebody said
[01:06.489]Because they thought we'd fit together walking
[01:14.204]It's just knowing that the world will not be cursin'
[01:18.211]Or forgiving when I walk along some railroad track and find
[01:26.976]That you're moving on the back roads
[01:29.531]By the rivers of my memory and for hours
[01:32.538]You're just gentle on my mind
[01:34.639]
[01:39.762]Though the wheat fields and the clothes lines
[01:41.817]And the junk yards and the highways come between us
[01:50.35]And some other woman's cryin'to her mother
[01:53.197]'Cause she turned and I was gone
[02:00.267]I still might run in silence
[02:01.825]Till'the join might stain my face
[02:04.977]And the summer sun might burn me 'till I'm blind
[02:12.606]But not to where I cannot see you
[02:15.666]Walking in the back roads
[02:18.178]By the rivers flowing gently on my mind
[02:21.237]
[02:25.892]I dip my cup of soup from a gurgling,
[02:28.958]cracking cauldron in some train yard
[02:35.674]I'm barely runnin'cold how
[02:37.731]Have a dirty hat pulled low across my face
[02:45.497]Who cupped hands around the tin cans
[02:48.559]I pretend to hold you to my breast and find
[02:55.676]That you're wavin'from the back roads
[02:58.192]By the rivers of my memory
[03:00.198]Ever smiling never changes on my mind
