Elvis Presley – Gentle On My Mind Lyrics  Share

From Elvis Presley's album: Great Country Songs

It^,s knowin^, that your door is always open
And you 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 heat stains that have dried up on some lovin^,
That keeps you in the back roads
By the rivers of my memory
It keeps you ever gentle on my mind

It^,s not clinging to the rocks and ivy
Planted on their columns mellowed by me
Or something that somebody said
Because they thought we^,d 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

[ Gentle On My Mind lyrics from

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
Till^, the join 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 from a gurgling,
cracking cauldron in some train yard
I^,m barely runnin^, cold how
Have a dirty hat pulled low across my face
Who cupped hands around the tin cans
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 never changes on my mind
