![]() Ar night he gathers with the other Bums to try and find food. You see him riding the rails looking at the back roads of America carrying nothing with him. The last part from the wheat fields to the junkyard to the cup of soup being cradled in his hands is one of the most picturesque passages of a song that exists any where. He has affairs with other women but he has no feelings for them and leaves them crying or upset or whatever, he does not care. The whole world can think they are crazy but they do not care. Only their love and acceptance of each other and they do not care what anyone else thinks. To me this is the weakest line in the song and at the same time the most meaningful as there is nothing physical such as a home or family to describe their relationship. There are no forgotten promises but still there is the connection that keeps him to constantly think about her. There are no love letters and no signatures on a marriage license. Few of us would ever agree to such an arrangement which make this such a powerful song. ![]() At the same time he is always welcome back knowing it will be only for a short time. She accepts him and that he will not change. Ranked #16 all time greatest song but I would have to rate it higher. That you're wavin' from the backroads by the rivers of my mem'ry Through cupped hands round a tin can I pretend to hold you to my breast and find My beard a roughened coal pile and a dirty hat pulled low across my face I dip my cup of of soup back from a gurgling, crackling cauldron in some train yard I still might run in silence, tears of joy might stain my faceĪnd the summer sun might burn me till I'm blindīut not to where I cannot see you walking on the backroads Though the wheat fields and the clotheslinesĪnd the junkyards and the highways come between usĪnd some other woman's crying to her mother cause she turned and I was gone That you're moving on the backroads by the rivers of my mem'ryĪnd for hours you're just gentle on my mind When I walk along some railroad track and find It's just knowing that the world will not be cursing or forgiving Or something that somebody said because they thought we fit together walking It's not clinging to the rocks and ivy planted on their columns now that bind me That keeps you in the backroads by the rivers of my mem'ry ![]() That makes me tend to leave my sleeping bag rolled up and stashed behind your couchĪnd it's knowing I'm not shackled by forgotten words and bondsĪnd the ink stains that have dried upon some line It's knowing that your door is always open and your path is free to walk Too much on my mind, yeah I can't make my mind up (Can't make my mind up) Told her that her time's up I been on my grind, yeah (All on my grind, yeah) Had her in the past, but I will not rewind, yeah (I won't rewind) I will not rewind her (I won't rewind) I will leave her there, huh Too much on my mind, yeah I can't make my mind up (Can't make my mind up) Told her that her time's up I been on my grind, yeah (All on my grind, yeah) Had her in the past, but I will not rewind, yeah (I won't rewind) I will not rewind her (I won't rewind) I will leave her there, huh Money all over my mind, yeah Rollie all over my time, yeah The joke's up, the game's over Girl, you get the cold shoulder (Bye, bye) But I just been all on my grind, yeah She know I'm all in my prime, yeah Her boyfriend wanna do me over.
