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
