GENTLE ON MY MIND

(BAR)-John Hartford

INTRO:

(X2)

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 and stashed behind your couch

And it's knowin' I'm not shackled by for-gotten words and bonds

And the ink stains that are dried up on some line

That keeps you in the backroads by the rivers of my memory, that 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 some-body said, be-cause they thought we fit together walkin'.

It's just knowin' that the world will not be cursing or for-giving,

When I walk along some railroad track and find

That you're movin' on the backroads by the rivers of my memory,

And for hours you're just gentle on my mind
