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 A-la-bam',
Things Looked Good in Birmingham,
We Didn't Find It There So We Moved On.
I Know You're Tired of Fol-low-ing
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.
I Know You're Tired of Fol-low-ing
My Elusive Dreams and Schemes
For They're Only Fleeting Things,
My Elusive Dreams.

Now We've Left A-las-ka Because Thewas no Gold Mine,
But This Time Only Two of Us Moved On.
And 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.
