Lyrics Gentle On My Mind - Johnny Cash
Well,
it's
knowin'
that
your
door
is
always
open
And
your
path
is
free
to
walk
That
makes
me
tend
to
leave
my
sleepin'
bag
rolled
up
Stashed
behind
your
couch
And
it's
knowin'
I'm
not
shackled
by
forgotten
words
and
bonds
And
the
ink
stains
that
have
dried
upon
some
lines
That
keeps
you
in
the
back
roads
By
the
rivers
of
my
memory
and
keeps
you
ever
gentle
on
my
mind
It's
not
clingin'
to
the
rocks
and
ivy
Planted
on
their
columns
now
that
bind
me
Or
somethin'
that
somebody
said
'cause
They
thought
we
fit
together
walkin'
It's
just
knowin'
that
the
world
will
not
be
cursin'
or
forgivin'
When
I
walk
along
some
railroad
track
and
find
That
you're
movin'
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
coal
mines
and
the
junkyards
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
walkin'
on
the
back
roads
by
the
rivers
flowin'
gentle
on
my
mind
I
dip
my
cup
of
soup
From
some
gurglin',
cracklin'
cauldron
in
some
train
yard
My
beard
a
roughenin'
coal
pile
And
a
dirty
hat
pulled
low
across
my
face
Through
cupped
hands
'round
a
tin
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
smilin',
ever
gentle
on
my
mind
