My Elusive Dreams — текст песни (George Jones)

Written by C. Putman and B. Sherrill
(As performed by Tammy Wynette and David Houston

T: I followed you to Texas
T: I followed you to Utah
D: We didn`t find it there, so we moved on
T: I followed you to Alabam`
T: Things looked good in Birmingham
D: We didn`t find it there, so we moved on

CHORUS (Both):
I know you`re tired of followin`
My elusive dreams and schemes
For they`re only fleeting things
My elusive dreams

T: I had your child in Memphis
T: You heard of work in Nashville
D: We didn`t find it there, so we moved on
D: To a small farm in Nebraska
D: To a gold mine in Alaska
T: We didn`t find it there, so we moved on

Both: And now we`ve left Alaska
Both: Because there was no gold mine
T: But this time, only two of us moved on
T: Now all we have is each other
T: And a little memory to cling to
D: And still you won`t let me go on alone

REPEAT CHORUS (Both)

Both: For they`re only fleeting things, my elusive dreams
