It's knowing that your door is always openAnd your path is free to walkThat makes me tend to leave my sleeping bagRolled up and stashed behind your couchAnd it's knowing I'm not shackledBy forgotten words and bondsAnd the ink stains that have dried upon some lineThat keeps you in the backroadsBy the rivers of my mem'ryThat keeps you ever gentle on my mindIt's not clinging to the rocks and ivyPlanted on their columns now that binds meOr something that somebody saidBecause they thought we fit together walkingIt's just knowing that the world will not be cursingOr forgiving when I walk along some railroad track and findThat you are moving on the backroadsBy the rivers of my mem'ryAnd for hours you're just gentle on my mindThough the wheat fields and the clothes linesAnd the junkyards and the highways come between usAnd some other woman crying to her mother'Cause she turned and I was goneI still might run in silence tears of joy might stain my faceAnd the summer sun might burn me 'til I'm blindBut not to where I cannot see you walkin' on the backroadsBy the rivers flowing gentle on my mindI dip my cup of soup back from the gurglin'Cracklin' caldron in some train yardMy beard a roughning coal pile andA dirty hat pulled low across my faceThrough cupped hands 'round a tin canI pretend I hold you to my breast and findThat you're waving from the backroadsBy the rivers of my mem'ryEver smilin' ever gentle on my mind
