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 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 For 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 that we can cling to But still, you won't let me go on, all alone I know you're tired of following My elusive dreams and schemes For they're only fleeting things My elusive dreams
