My Elusive Dreams

David Houston and Tammy Wynette

T: I followed you to Texas

T: I followed you to Utah

D: We didn't find it there, so we moved on;

T: I followed you to Al-a-bam'

T: things looked good in Birmingham

D: We didn't find it there, so we moved on.

CHORUS

B: I know you're tired of followin'

B: My elusive dreams and schemes

B: For they're only fleeting things

B: My elusive dreams.

T: I had your child in Memphis

T: You heard of work in Nashville

D: We didn't find it there, so we moved on;

D: To a small farm in Nebraska

D: To a gold mine in Alaska

T: We didn't find it there, so we moved on.

D: And now we've left Alaska,

D: Because there was no gold mine.

(SPOKEN)

T: But this time, only two of us moved on

T: Now all we have is each other

T: And a little memory to cling to.

D: And still you won't let me go on alone.

D: I know you're tired of followin'

D: My elusive dreams and schemes

D: For they're only fleeting things

D: My elusive dreams.

B: For they're only fleeting things, my elusive dreams.

T: TAMMY

D: DAVID

B: DUET
