My Elusive Dreams

You followed me to Texas, you followed me to Utah

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

You went with me to Alabama

Things looked good in Birmingham

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

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 the was no gold mine

But this time, only two of us moves 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
