I followed you to Texas, I followed you to Utah
We didn't find it there so we moved onI followed you to Alabam', things looked good in Birmingham
We didn't find it there so we moved onI know you're tired of following my elusive dreams and schemes
For they're only fleeting things, my elusive dreamsI had your child in Memphis, you heard of work in Nashville
We didn't find it there so we moved onTo a small farm in Nebraska, to a gold mine in Alaska
We didn't find it there so we moved onAnd now we've left Alaska because there was no gold mineBut this time, only two of us move on
And now now we have each other and a little memory to cling toAnd still you won't let me go on aloneI know you're tired of following my elusive dreams and schemes
For they're only fleeting things, my elusive dreamsFor they're only fleeting things, my elusive dreams
