DEAN MARTIN - GENTLE ON MY MIND
It's knowin' that your door is always open
And your path is free to walk
That makes me tend to leave my sleeping bag rolled up
And stashed behind your couch

And it's knowin' I'm not shackled
By forgotten words and bonds
And the ink stains that have dried up on 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 clinging to the rocks and ivy
Planted on their columns now that binds me
Or something that somebody said
Because they thought we 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
You're moving on the back roads
By the rivers of my memory and for hours
You're just gentle on my mind

Though I dip my cup of soup back from a gurgling
crackling cauldron in some train yard
My beard a roughening coal pile
And a dirty hat pulled low across my face
With cupped hands on a tin can
I pretend I hold you to my breast and find
That you're wavin' from the back roads
By the river of my memory
Ever smiling ever gentle on my mind
