My Elusive Dreams

You followed me to Texas

You followed me to Utah

We didn't find it there

So we moved on

Then you went with me to Alabam

Things looked good in Birmingham

We didn't find it there

So we moved on

I know you're tired of following

My elusive dreams and schemes

For they're only fleeting things

My elusive dreams

You had my child in Memphis

Then I heard of work in Nashville

But we didn't find it there

So we moved on

To a small farm in Nebraska

To a gold mine in Alaska

We didn't find it there

So we moved on

Now we've left Alaska

Because there was no gold mine

But this time only two of us

Moved on

And now all we have is each other

And a little memory to cling to

And still you won't let me

Go on alone

I know you're tired of following

My elusive dreams and schemes

For they're only fleeting things

My elusive dreams

For they're only fleeting things

My elusive dreams
