Karaoke Track: Gentle On My Mind by Glen Campbell (Idol Makers)

That makes me tend to
leave my sleeping bag

Rolled up and stashed
behind your couch

And it&#39;s knowin&#39; that I&#39;m not
schackled 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
And it&#39;s knowin&#39; that I&#39;m not
schackled 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

And keeps you ever
gentle on my mind

It&#39;s not clingin&#39; to the rocks
and I be planted on their
columns now that bind me

Or something that
somebody said

Because they thought we&#39;d
fit together walkin&#39;

It&#39;s just knowing that the
word will not be cursing

or forgiving

When I walk along some
railroad track and find

That you&#39;re movin&#39; on the
backroads by the rivers of
my memory

And for hours you&#39;re just
gentle on my mind
Though the wheat fields
and the clothes lines and
the junk yards

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&#39;m blind
But not to where I cannot

See you walk along the
back roads by the rivers
flowin&#39; gentle on my mind

I dip my cup of soup back
from a gurglin&#39;, cracklin&#39;
cauldron in some train yard

My beard a restin&#39; in a cold
towel
I dip my cup of soup back
from a gurglin&#39;, cracklin&#39;
cauldron in some train yard

Through cupped hands,
round a tin can,

I pretend to hold you to
my breast and find

That you&#39;re waitin&#39; from the
back roads, by the rivers
of my memory

Ever smilin&#39;,
ever gentle on my mind
