My Elusive Dreams

George Jones & Tammy Wynette



T: I followed you to Texas

T: I followed you to Utah

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

T: I went with you to Alabam'

T: Things looked good in Birmingham

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



Chorus: (Both)

I know you're tired of followin'

My elusive dreams and schemes

For they're only fleeting things

My elusive dreams



G: You had my child in Memphis

G: Then I heard of work in Nashville

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

G: To a small farm in Nebraska

G: To a gold mine in Alaska

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



Both: And now we've left Alaska

Both: Because there was no gold mine

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

G: And now all we have is each other

G: And a little memory to cling to

T: And still I won't let you go on alone



Chorus: (Both):

I know you're tired of followin'

My elusive dreams and schemes

For they're only a fleeting thing

My elusive dreams



For they're only a fleeting thing, my elusive dreams...
