Elusive Dreams

I followed you to

Texas I followed you to

Utah We didn't find it there

So we moved on

I followed you to

Alabama 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

I had your child in

Memphis You 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 goldmine

But this time only two of us move on

And now, now we have 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
