[Intro]
| C | % |
[Verse 1]
It's Cknowin' that your Em/Bdoor is always Am7open
And your C/Gpath is free to Dmwalk
That Dmmakes me tend to C#augkeep my sleeping Dm7/Cbag rolled up
And Gstashed behind your Ccouch
And it's Cknowin' I'm not Em/Bshackled
By Am7forgotten words and C/Gbonds
And the Cink stains that have dried upon some Dmline
That Dmkeeps you in the C#augback roads
By the Dm7/Crivers of my Gmemory
That Dmkeeps you ever Ggentle on my Cmind
[Verse 2]
It's not Cclingin' to the Em/Brocks and ivy
Am7Planted on their C/Gcolumns now that Dmbind me
Or Dmsomething that someC#augbody said beDm7/Ccause
They thought we Gfit together Cwalkin'
It's just Cknowing that the Em/Bworld
Will not be Am7cursing or forC/Ggiving
When I Cwalk along some railroad track and Dmfind
That you're Dmmovin' on the C#augback roads
By the Dm7/Crivers of my Gmemory
And for Dmhours you're just Ggentle on my Cmind
[Verse 3]
Though the Cwheat fields and the Em/Bclothes lines
And the Am7junkyards and the C/Ghighways come beDmtween us
And some Dmother woman's C#augcryin' to her Dm7/Cmother
'Cause she Gturned and I was Cgone
I Cstill might run in Em/Bsilence
Tears of Am7joy might stain my C/Gface
And the Csummer sun might burn me till I'm Dmblind
But Dmnot to where I C#augcannot see
You Dm7/Cwalkin' on the Gback roads
By the Dmrivers flowin' Ggentle on my Cmind
[Verse 4]
I Cdip my cup of Em/Bsoup back
From a Am7gurglin' cracklin' C/Gcauldron in some Dmtrain yard
My Dmbeard a rustlin' C#augcoal pile
And a Dm7/Cdirty hat pulled Glow across my Cface
Through Ccupped hands 'round a Em/Btin can
I preAm7tend to hold you C/Gto my breast and Dmfind
That you're Dmwaitin' from the C#augback roads
By the Dm7/Crivers of my Gmemory
Ever Dmsmilin', ever Ggentle on my Cmind
