It's knowing 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 knowing I'm not shackled By forgotten words and bonds And the ink stains that have dried upon some line That keeps you in the backroads By the rivers of my mem'ry That 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 cursing Or forgiving when I walk along some railroad track and find That you are moving on the backroads By the rivers of my mem'ry And for hours you're just gentle on my mind Though the wheat fields and the clothes lines And the junkyards and the highways come between us And some other woman crying 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 'til I'm blind But not to where I cannot see you walkin' on the backroads By the rivers flowing gentle on my mind I dip my cup of soup back from the gurglin'Cracklin' cauldron in some train yard My beard a roughening coal pile and A dirty hat pulled low across my face Through cupped hands 'round a tin can I pretend I hold you to my breast and find That you're waving from the backroads By the rivers of my mem'ry Ever smilin' ever gentle on my mind

Cada día por la carretera Noche, madrugada entera Y mi amor aumenta más Porque pienso en ella en el camino Imagino su cariño y todo el bien Que ella me da La nostalgia viene a hablar conmigo Con la radio yo consigo Espantar la soledad Voy de día un poco más veloz, de noche Prendo los faroles A iluminar la oscuridad Yo sé, yeih-yeh-eh-eh Voy corriendo en busca de ella Corazón tan disparado Pero yo voy con cuidado No me arriesgo en marcha suelta Yo sé, yeih-yeh-eh-eh Siempre en esa carretera Al volante pienso en ella Ya pinté en el parachoque un corazón Y el nombre de ella Ya rodé por mi país entero Como todo camionero Tuve lluvia y cerrazón Cuando llueve el limpiador desliza Va y viene el parabrisas Late igual mi corazón Loco por lo dulce de su beso Miro lleno de deseo Su retrato en el panel Es en el calor de su abrazo Que me olvido del cansancio Y me abastezco de su miel Yo sé, yeih-yeh-eh-eh Voy corriendo en busca de ella Corazón tan disparado Pero yo voy con cuidado No me arriesgo en marcha suelta Yo sé, yeih-yeh-eh-eh Siempre en esa carretera Al volante pienso en ella Ya pinté en el parachoque un corazón Y el nombre de ella

If your heart tells you so, that you should leave me Don't try to forget, you and I never met And before you fly, why can't you tell me why You've forgotten all the words that you once said Long as I've got you there beside me Long as you're there to stand a guide me The love we share, no one can ever tear apart Long as I've got this life I'm living Long as it's you, the love I'm with then I'll keep on callin' you sweetheart If my love for you can't make you happy Just open the door and you won't see me anymore And before you fly, why can't you tell me why You've forgotten all the words that you once said Long as I've got you there beside me Long as you're there to stand a guide me The love we share, no one can ever tear apart Long as I've got this life I'm living Long as it's you, the love I'm with then I'll keep on callin' you sweetheart I'll keep on callin' you sweetheart

Something in the way she moves, Attracts me like no other lover. Something in the way she woos me. I don't want to leave her now, You know I believe, and how. Somewhere in her smile she knows, That I don't need no other lover. Something in her style that shows me. I don't want to leave her now, You know I believe and how. You're asking me will my love grow, I don't know, I don't know. You stick around now, it may show, I don't know, I don't know. Something in the way she knows, And all I have to do is think of her. Something in the things she shows me. I don't want to leave her now. You know I believe and how.

If a picture paints a thousand words Then why can't I paint you? The words would never show The you I've come to know If a face could launch a thousand ships Then where am I to go? There's no one home but you You're all that's left me too And when my love for life is running dry You come and pour yourself on me If a man could be two places at one time I'd be with you Tomorrow and today Beside you all the way If the world should stop revolving Spinning slowly down to die I'd spend the end with you And when the world was through Then one by one the stars would all go out Then you and I would simply fly away
