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 Alabama, 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



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



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
