Gentle On My Mind Lyrics - Tom Jones

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 

And it's knowing I'm not shackled 

By forgotten words and bonds 

And the ink stains that are dried upon some line 

 

That keeps you in the backroads 

By the rivers of my memory 

That keeps you ever gentle on my mind

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

 

It's not clinging to the rocks and ivy 

Planted on their columns now that bind me 

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 walk along some railroad track and find 

 

That you're moving on the backroads 

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 junkyards and the highways come between us 

And some other woman's cryin' to her mother 

'Cause she turned and I was gone 

I still might run in silence tears of joy might stain my face 

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

 

But not to where I cannot see 

You walkin' on the backroads 

By the rivers flowing gentle on my mind 

 

I dip my cup of soup back from a gurglin' 

Cracklin' caldron in some train yard 

My beard a roughening coal pile, 

And a dirty hat pulled low across my face 

Through cupped hands 'round the tin can 

I pretend to hold you to my breast and find 

 

That you're waiting from the backroads 

By the rivers of my memories 

Ever smilin' ever gentle on my mind
