I`d followed me to Texas I`d followed me to Utah
We didn`t find it there so we moved on
I`d followed you to Alabam things look 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 gold mine
But this time only two of us moves on
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
For they`re only fleeting things my elusive dreams
