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 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

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 following

My elusive dreams and schemes

For they're only fleeting things

My elusive dreams

For they're only fleeting things

My elusive dreams

For they're only fleeting things
