ARETHA FRANKLIN - Gentle On My Mind lyrics

rate me

It's knowing that your<br />

Door is always open<br />

And your path is<br />

Free to walk<br />

<br />

That makes me know that<br />

I can leave my sleeping bag<br />

Behind your couch<br />

<br />

It's knowing I'm not shackled<br />

By forgotten words and bonds<br />

And your ink stains that<br />

Have dried upon some line<br />

<br />

Keeps you on the backroads<br />

By the rivers of my memory<br />

It keeps you ever<br />

Gentle on my mind<br />

<br />

It's not clinging to<br />

Some rocks and ivy<br />

Planted on some column now<br />

That binds me, no, it don't<br />

<br />

Or something that somebody said<br />

Because they thought we<br />

Fit together walking<br />

<br />

It's knowing that the world<br />

Will not be cursing or forgiving<br />

When they turn around and find<br />

<br />

That you're<br />

Moving on the backroads<br />

You're still on my memory<br />

You're ever gentle on my mind<br />

<br />

(Gentle on my mind, yeah)<br />

(Gentle on my mind, yeah)...
