p.2. Gentle On My Mind

Though the wheat fields and the clothes lines and the junkyards and the highways come be-tween 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 backroads, by the rivers flowin' gentle on my mind

I dip my cup of soup back from the gurglin', cracklin' cauldron in some trainyard;

My beard, a roughenin' coal pile, and a dirty hat pulled low across my face.

Through cupped hands 'round a tin can I pre-tend I hold you to my breast and find

That you're waving from the backroads by the rivers of my memory,

Ever smilin' ever gentle on my mind, (repeat last 2 lines and add): ever smilin'.. ever gentle.. on my mind.
