Gentle On My Mind Lyrics - Tammy Wynette

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 column 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 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 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 to where I cannot see you moving on the back roads 

By the rivers flowing gentle on my mind 

The shadows freak in the autumn winds 

That make me draw inside myself in silence 

Cross legged night I sit and watch 

The endless chase of leaves across my yard 

Photos 

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
