You followed me to Texas, you followed me to Utah
We didn't find it there, so we moved on
You went with me to Alabama
Things looked good in Birmingham
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
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 the was no gold mine
But this time, only two of us moves 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 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
