verse
its knowing that your door is always open
and your path is free to walk free to walk free to walk free to walk free to walk
that makes me know that i can leave
my sleeping bag behind your couch yes itll be right there
yes it does yes itll be right there
its knowing im not shackled by forgotten words and bonds
and your ink stains that have dried upon some line
keeps you on the back roads back roads
by the rivers of my memory memory
it keeps you ever gentle on my mind gentle on my mind yeah

its not clinging to some rocks and ivy planted
on some column now that binds me no it dont
or something that somebody said
because they thought we fit together walking

its knowing that the world will not be cursing or forgiving
when they turn around and find
that youre moving on the back roads back roads
youre still on my memory memory
youre ever gentle on my mind gentle on my mind yeah
