My Elusive Dreams

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
I know you're tired of following
My elusive dreams and schemes
Oh, they're only fleeting things
My elusive dreams

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
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
