Karaoke Track: Gentle On My Mind by Dean Martin (Sunfly)

47g MY MIND

It&#39;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 the couch

It&#39;s knowing I&#39;m not shackled

by forgotten words and bonds
And the ink stains
that are dried up on some line

That keeps you
in the back roads
by the rivers of my memory
That keeps you ever
gentle on my mind

It&#39;s not clinging to the rocks
and ivy planted on their
columns nonr that binds me

Or something that somebody
said because they thought
we&#39;d lit together walking

It&#39;s just knowing that the world
will not be cursing 0r forgiving
When I walk along
some railroad track and fmd

That you&#39;re moving
on the back roads
by the rivers of my memory
And for hours you&#39;re just
gentle on my mind

Through the Wheat flelds
and the clothes lines

and the junk yards and the
highways come between us

And some other man crying
to his mother &#39;cos he
turned and you were gone

I still might run in silence
tears of joy might stain my face
And the smmner sun

might bum me &#39;til I&#39;m blind

But not to Where I cannot see
you walking on the back roads
by the rivers llowing
gentle on my mind

I dip my cup of soup back
from the gurgling, crackling
cauldron in some train yard

My bitter rough and coal pile
and a dirty hat
pulled lour across my face

Through cupped hands
round a tin can I pretend
you hold me to
my breast and Fmd

That you&#39;re waving
on the back roads
by the rivers of my memory
Ever smiling ever
gentle on my mind
