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 followin' 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 moved on And now all we have is each other And a little memory to cling to And still I won't let you go on alone I know you're tired of followin' My elusive dreams and schemes For they're only a fleeting thing My elusive dreams For they're only a fleeting thing, my elusive dreams...
