[Intro]
D

[Verse 1]
D Dmaj7 D6
It's knowing that your door is always open
Dmaj7 Em
And your path is free to walk
Em Emmaj7 Em7
That makes me tend to leave my sleeping bag
A D
Rolled up and stashed behind your couch
D Dmaj7
And it's knowing I'm not shackled
D6 Dmaj7
By forgotten words and bonds
D Dmaj7 Em
And the ink stains that are dried upon some line
Em Emmaj7
That keeps you in the backroads
Em7 A
By the rivers of my memory
Em A D
That keeps you ever gentle on my mind

[Verse 2]
D Dmaj7
It's not clinging to the rocks and ivy
D6 Dmaj7 Em
Planted on their columns now that bind me
Em Emmaj7
Or something that somebody said
Em7 A D
Because they thought we fit together walking
D Dmaj7 D6
It's just knowing that the world will not be cursing
Dmaj7 D Dmaj7 Em
Or forgiving when I walk along some railroad track and find
Em Emmaj7
That you're moving on the backroads
Em7 A
By the rivers of my memory
Em A D
And for hours you're just gentle on my mind

[Verse 3]
D Dmaj7
Though the wheat fields and the clothes lines
