作曲：John Hartford

It's knowing that your door is always open

And that you path is free to walk

That makes me tend leave my sleeping bag rolled up

And stashed behind yer couch

And it's knowing I'm not shackled by forgotten words and bonds

And the ink stains dried upon some line

That keeps you in back roads by the rivers of my memory

Keeps you ever gentle on my mind

Not clinging to the rocks and ivy planted on their columns

Now that binds me

Or something that 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 tracks and find

That you're waving from the back roads by the rivers of my memory

For hours you're just gentle on my mind

All the wheat fields and the clotheslines

And the highways come between us

And some other woman crying to her mother

'Cause she turned and I was gone

I still might run in silence

Tears of joy might stain my face

And a summer sun might burn me til I'm blind

But not to where I cannot see you walking on the back roads

By the rivers flowing gentle on my mind

I dip my cup of soup back from a gurgling crackling

Cauldron in some train yard

My beard ruff and then a cold pile and a

And a dirty hat pulled low across my face

Through cupped hands 'round a tin can

I pretend to hold you to my breast and find

That you're wavin' from the back roads

Ever smiling ever gentle on my mind
