My Elusive Dreams

I followed you to Texas

I followed you to Utah

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

I followed you to Alabam'

Things look 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

I had your child in Memphis

You heard of work in Nashville

(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)

And now, we've left Alaska

Because there was no gold mine

But this time only two of us moves on

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
