Rolled up and Gstashed behind your Ccouch.

That keeps you in the backroads by the rivers of my memory,
That keeps you ever Ggentle on my Cmind.

CPlanted on their Emcolumns now that Dmbinds me,
Or something that somebody said
Because they thought we Gfit together CwalEmkin'. C Em

It's just knoCwing that the Emworld will not Cbe cursing or Emforgiving,
When I Cwalk along Emsome railroad track Dmand find,
That you're moving on the backroads by the rivers of my memory,
And for hours you're just Ggentle on my Cmind.

Verse
Well I dip my cup of soup back from the gurgling crackling
Caldron in some train yard
My beard a roughening coal pile and a dirty hat
Pulled low across my face
Cupped hands 'round a tin can
I pretend I hold you to my breast and find
That you're waving from the back roads by the river of my memory
Ever smiling ever gentle on my mind
