Jim Ed Brown Gentle on my Mind Lyrics:
It's just knowing that your door is always open
and your path is free to walk That makes me tend
to leave my sleeping bag rolled up and stashed
behind your couch And it's knowing I'm not shacked
by forgotten words and bons And the ink stains
that have dried upon some line That keeps you in
the back roads by the rivers of my mem'ry That
keeps you ever gentle on my mind It's not clinging
to the rocks and I'd be planted on their columns
now that binds me Or something that somebody said
because they thought we fit together walking It's
just knowing that the world will not be cursing or
forgivin' When I walk along some railroad track

and find That you're movin' on the back roads by
the rivers of my mem'ry And for hours you're just
gentle on my mind Though the wheet fields and the
clothes lines And the junk yards and the highways
come between us And some other woman 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 walking on
the back roads By the rivers flowin' gentle on my
mind I dipped my cup of soap back from a gurgling
crackling caltron in some train yard My beard a
roughen coal pile and a dirty hat pulled low
across my face Through cupped hands round a tin
can I pretend I hold you to my breast and find
That you're waving from the back roads by the
rivers of my mem'ry Ever smiling ever gentle on my
mind
