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 following My elusive dreams and schemes Oh, 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 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 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
