Artist/Band: Johnny Cash
Lyrics for Song: Gentle On My Mind
Lyrics for Album: Unearthed [2003]



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
