You followed me to Texas,
you followed me to Utah
We didn't find it there, so we moved on
Then you went with me 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
You had my child in Memphis
Then I heard of work in Nashville
But 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
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 to cling to
And still you won't let me go on alone
I know your time I'll follow you
My elusive dream s and schemes
For they're only fleeting things,
my elusive dreams
For they're only fleeting things,
my elusive dreams you
