Verse 1
By The Time I Get To Phoenix
She'll Be Risin
She'll Find The Note I Left Hangin
On Her Door
She'll Laugh When She Reads The Part
That Say I'm Leaving
Cause I've Left That Girl So Many Times Be- Fore
Verse 2
By The Time I Make Okla- Homa
She'll Be Sleepin
She'll Turn Softly
And Call My Name Out Low
And She'll Cry Just To Think
I'd Really Leave Her
But Time And Time I've Tried
To Tell Her So
She Just Didn't Know
I Would Really Go
Try A Little Kindness
Verse 1
If You See Your Brother Standing By The Road
With A Heavy Load From The Seeds He Sowed
And If You See Your Sister Falling By The Way
Just Stop And Say "You're Going The Wrong Way"
Chorus
You've Got To Try A Little Kindness, Yes, Show A Little Kindness
Just Shine Your Light For Everyone To See
And If You Try A Little Kindness Then You'll Overlook The Blindness
Of The Narrow-Minded People On The Narrow-Minded Streets
Lineman
I Am A Lineman For The County And I Drive The Main Road
Searchin' In The Sun For Another Overload.
I Hear You Singin' In The Wires, I Can Hear You Through The Whine
And The Wichita Lineman Is Still On The Line.
Hook
I Know I Need A Small Vacation, But It Don't Look Like Rain.
And If It Snows That Stretch Down South Won't Ever Stand The Strain.
And I Need You More Than Want You, And I Want You For All Time.
And The Wichita Lineman Is Still On The Line.
Honey Come Back
Honey, Come Back I Just Can't Stand
Each Lonely Day's A Little Bit Longer
Than The Last Time I Held You
Seems Like A Hundred Years Ago
Back To His Arms And Never Know
The Joy Of Love That Used To Taste Like
Honey, Come Back Where You Belong To Only Me
Gentle On My Mind
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 Are 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
Verse 2
It's Not Clinging To The Rocks And Ivy
Planted On Their Columns Now That Bind Me
Or Something That Somebody Said
Because They Thought We Fit Together Walkin'
It's Just Knowing That The World Will Not Be Cursing Or Forgiving
When I Walk Along Some Railroad Track And Find
That You're Moving On The Backroads By The
Rivers Of My Mem'ry, And For Hours You're Just
Gentle On My Mind
Verse 3
Though The Wheat Fields And The Clothes Lines And The
Junkyards And The Highways Come Between Us
And Some Other Woman's 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 Till I'm Blind
But Not To Where I Cannot See You
Walkin' On The Backroads, By The Rivers Flowing
Gentle On My Mind
Verse 4
I Dip My Cup Of Soup Back From A
Gurglin', Cracklin' Cauldron In Some Trainyard;
My Beard A Roughning 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 Waiting From The Backroads By The
Rivers Of My Memories, Ever Smilin', Ever
Gentle On My Mind
