It's ^Dknowing that your ^Dmaj7door is always ^D6open, And your ^Dmaj7path is free to ^Emwalk, That ^Emmakes me tend to ^EmM7leave my sleeping ^Em7bag rolled up, And ^A7stashed behind your ^Dcouch, And it's ^Dknowing I'm not ^Dmaj7shackled... ...by for - ^D6gotten words and ^Dmaj7bonds, And the ^Dink stains that are ^Dmaj7dried upon some ^Emline, That ^Emkeeps you in the ^EmM7backroads, By the ^Em7rivers of my ^A7memory, It ^Em7keeps you ever ^A7gentle on my ^Dmind

[Verse 2]

It's not ^Dclinging to the ^Dmaj7rocks and ivy, ^D6Planted on their ^Dmaj7columns, now that ^Embind me, Or ^Emsomething that some - ^EmM7body said, Be - ^Em7cause they thought we'd ^A7fit together ^Dwalking, It's just ^Dknowing that the ^Dmaj7world will not be ^D6cursing, Or for - g^Dmaj7iving, When I ^Dwalk along some ^Dmaj7railroad track and ^Emfind... ...That you're ^Emmoving on the ^EmM7backroads, By the ^Em7rivers of my ^A7memory, And for ^Em7hours you're just ^A7gentle on my ^Dmind

[Verse 3]

Though the ^Dwheat fields, and the ^Dmaj7clothes -lines, And the j^D6unkyards, and the ^Dmaj7highways, come be - ^Emtween us, And some ^Emother woman's ^EmM7crying to her ^Em7mother, 'Cause she ^A7turned, and I was ^Dgone, I ^Dstill might run in ^Dmaj7silence, tears of ^D6joy might stain my ^Dmaj7face, And the ^Dsummer sun might ^Dmaj7burn me 'til I'm ^Emblind, But ^Emnot to where I ^EmM7cannot see you ^Em7walking on the ^A7backroads, By the ^Em7rivers flowing ^A7gentle on my ^Dmind

[Verse 4]

I ^Ddip my cup of ^Dmaj7soup back from a ^D6gurgling, Crackling ^Dmaj7cauldron in some ^Emtrain yard, My ^Embeard a roughening ^EmM7coal pile, And a ^Em7dirty hat pulled ^Alow across my ^Dface, Through ^Dcupped hands, 'round the ^Dmaj7tin can, I pre - ^D6tend to hold you ^Dmaj7to my breast, and ^Emfind... ...That you're ^Emwaiting from the ^EmM7backroads, By the ^Em7rivers of my ^A7memories, Ever ^Em7smiling, ever ^A7gentle on my ^Dmind
