my elusive dreams
I'd followed me to Texas I'd followed me to Utah We didn't find it there so we moved on I'd 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
