  S1:
  It's 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 shackled by forgotten words and bonds 

  And the ink stains that are dried upon some line 

  That keeps you in the backroads by the rivers of my memory 

  That keeps you ever gentle on my mind

  S2:
  It's not clinging to the rocks and ivy 

  Planted on their columns now that bind 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 forgiving when I walk along some railroad track and find 

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

  And for hours you're just gentle on my mind

  S3:
  Though the wheat fields and the clothes lines 

  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 'til I'm blind 

  But not to where I cannot see you walkin' on the backroads 

  By the rivers flowing gentle on my mind

  S4:
  I dip my cup of soup back from a gurglin' 

  Cracklin' caldron in some train yard 

  My beard a roughened coal pile, and 

  A dirty hat pulled low across my face 

  Through cupped hands 'round the tin can 

  I pretend to hold you to my breast and find 

  That you're waiting from the backroads by the rivers of my memories 

  Ever smilin' ever gentle on my mind
