My Elusive Dreams

I followed you to Texas

I followed you to Utah

We didn't find it there so we moved on

I went with you to Alabam'

Things looked 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

Oh, they're only fleeting things

My elusive dreams

You had my child in Memphis

Then I 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 move on

And now all we have is each other

And a little memory we cling to

And still you won't let me go on alone

I know you're tired of following

My elusive dreams and schemes

Oh, they're only pleading things

My elusive dreams

I know you're tired of following

My elusive dreams and schemes

Oh, they're only pleading things

My elusive dreams
