[Bb]
[F] [Bb]
It's knowing that your door is always open and your path is free [Cm] to walk
[G] [Eb]
[F] [Cm] That makes me [G] tend to leave my [Eb] sleeping bag rolled [F] up and stashed [Bb] behind your couch
And it's knowing I'm not shackled by [Gm] forgotten [Bb] words and bonds
[Gm] The ink stains [Bb] that have dried upon [Cm] some lines
[G] [Eb] [F] [Cm] That keeps you [Eb] in the back roads by the rivers of [F] my memory
[Eb] That keeps you ever gentle [Bb] on my mind
The [Dm]
[G] wheat [C] fields and the clotheslines [Em] and the junkyards [C] and the highways [Dm] come between us
[G] [Dm]
[G] And some other woman crying to her mama cause she turned and [C] I was gone
I still run in silence, tears of joy [A] might stain [C] my face
[G] Summer sun [Am] might burn me till [Dm] I'm blind
[G] But [Dm] [G] [Dm] not to where [F] I cannot see [Dm] you walking [G] on the back roads by [Dm] the rivers
Flowing [G] gentle [C] on my mind

I dip my [Bm] cup of soup back [D] from the gurgling [Bm] crackling cauldron [Em] in some train [B] yard
[G] [A]
[Em] My beard a ruffling coal pile and a dirty [G] hat pulled low [D] across my face
Through cupped hands round a tin can I pretend I hold you to my breast [Em] and find
That [A]
[Em] you're waving [B] from the back roads [Bm] by the [G] rivers [A] of my memory
[G] Ever smiling, ever [Em] gentle [D] on my [A] mind
[Bm] I [A] [D] [A]
[D] [A] still run [D] in silence, [Gbm] tears of joy might stain my face
[A] And the summer sun [Bm] might burn me till [D] I'm [Em] blind
