(Words & music by J. Hartford)

It s knowin that your door is always open
And your path is free to walk
That makes me tend to keep my sleeping bag rolled up
And stashed behind your couch

It s knowin I m not shackled
By forgotten words and bonds
And the ink stains that have dried upon some line
That keeps you in the back roads
By the rivers of my memory
And keeps you ever gentle on my mind

It s not clinging to the rocks and ivy
Planted on their columns now that binds me
Or something that somebody said
Because they thought we fit together walking
It s just knowing that the world will not be cursin
Or forgiving when I walk along some railroad track and find
That you re moving 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 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 till I m blind
But not to where I cannot see you
Walking in the back roads
By the rivers flowing gently on my mind

I dip my cup of soup back from a gurgling
crackling cauldron in some train yard
My beard a roughening coal pile
And a dirty hat pulled low across my face
With cupped hands around a tine can
I pretend to hold you to my breast and find
That you re wavin from the back roads
By the rivers of my memory
Ever smiling ever gentle on my mind
