[ti:Gentle On My Mind] |

[ar:elvis presley] |
| [00:06.93] |
It's knowin'that your door is always open |
| [00:09.707] |
And you path is free to walk |
| [00:16.405] |
That makes me tend to keep my sleeping bag rolled up |
| [00:20.962] |
And stashed behind your couch |
| [00:24.71] |
|
| [00:27.92] |
It's knowin'I'm not shackled |
| [00:29.152] |
By forgotten words and bonds |
| [00:31.663] |
And the heat stains that have dried up on some lovin' |
| [00:40.432] |
That keeps you in the back roads |
| [00:42.985] |
By the rivers of my memory |
| [00:46.03] |
It keeps you ever gentle on my mind |
| [00:53.273] |
|
| [00:53.773] |
It's not clinging to the rocks and ivy |
| [00:56.336] |
Planted on their columns mellowed by me |
| [01:03.961] |
Or something that somebody said |
| [01:06.489] |
Because they thought we'd fit together walking |
| [01:14.204] |
It's just knowing that the world will not be cursin' |
| [01:18.211] |
Or forgiving when I walk along some railroad track and find |
| [01:26.976] |
That you're moving on the back roads |
| [01:29.531] |
By the rivers of my memory and for hours |
| [01:32.538] |
You're just gentle on my mind |
| [01:34.639] |
|
| [01:39.762] |
Though the wheat fields and the clothes lines |
| [01:41.817] |
And the junk yards and the highways come between us |
| [01:50.35] |
And some other woman's cryin'to her mother |
| [01:53.197] |
'Cause she turned and I was gone |
| [02:00.267] |
I still might run in silence |
| [02:01.825] |
Till'the join might stain my face |
| [02:04.977] |
And the summer sun might burn me 'till I'm blind |
| [02:12.606] |
But not to where I cannot see you |
| [02:15.666] |
Walking in the back roads |
| [02:18.178] |
By the rivers flowing gently on my mind |
| [02:21.237] |
|
| [02:25.892] |
I dip my cup of soup from a gurgling, |
| [02:28.958] |
cracking cauldron in some train yard |
| [02:35.674] |
I'm barely runnin'cold how |
| [02:37.731] |
Have a dirty hat pulled low across my face |
| [02:45.497] |
Who cupped hands around the tin cans |
| [02:48.559] |
I pretend to hold you to my breast and find |
| [02:55.676] |
That you're wavin'from the back roads |
| [02:58.192] |
By the rivers of my memory |
| [03:00.198] |
Ever smiling never changes on my mind |
