Gentle On My Mind - Tammy Wynette

作词：J. Hartford

作曲：J. Hartford

It's knowing you don't try to bind

My freedom with some promise made of gold

That for you my door stays open

And our love becomes a simple to a street

And it's knowing we're not shacked

By forgotten words and bons

And the ink stains

That have dried upon some line

That keeps you on the back roads

By the rivers of my mem'ry

That keeps you ever gentle on my mind

It's not clinging to the rocks

And I'd be planted on some colum

Now that binds us

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'm driftin' through

The market place and find

That you're moving on the back roads

By the rivers of my mem'ry

And for hours

You're just gentle on my mind

Though the wheet fields

And the clothes lines

And the junk yards

And the highways come between us

And some other woman crying to her mother

'Cause she turned and you were gone

I still might walk for hours

Tears of joy might stain my face

And a summer sun might burn me

Till I'm blind

But not where I can not see

You moving on the back roads

By the rivers flowing

Gentle on my mind

The shadows freek in the autumn winds

That make me draw inside myself in silence

Cross legged now us

Sit watch and endless chase

Of leaves across my yard

And layin' down my hair brush

I lean back within

My window seat and find

That you're moving on the back roads

By the rivers of my mem'ry

Ever smiling ever gentle on my mind
