Eddy Arnold - Gentle On My Mind lyrics
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
 It's knowing I'm not shackled by forgotten words and bons
 And the ink stains that have dried upon some line
 That keeps you in the back roads by the rivers of my memory
 That keeps you ever gentle on my mind
 It's not clinging to the rocks
 And I'd be planted on their columns now that bind me
 Or something that somebody said
 Because they thought we fit together walking
 Eddy Arnold - Gentle On My Mind - http://motolyrics.com/eddy-arnold/gentle-on-my-mind-lyrics.html
 It's knowin' that the world will not be cursin' or forgiving
 When I walk along some railroad track and find
 You're movin' on the back roads by the rivers of my memory
 And for hours you're just gentle on my mind
 Though the wheat 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 I was gone
 I still run in silence, tears of joy stain my face
 And a summer sun might burn me till I'm blind
 But not to where I cannot see you walking on the back roads
 By the rivers flowing gentle on my mind
