I followed you to Texas I followed you to Utah. We didn't find it there so we moved on. I 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. Now we've left Alaska because there was no gold mine. (Speaking) But this time only two of us moved on. And now all we have is each other and a little memory that we could to cling to. (Speaking) But 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
