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 Alabam'
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 thewas no gold mine
But this time only two of us moved 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.
