I followed you to Texas

I followed you to Utah

We didn't find it there so we moved on

I followed you 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

I 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 move on

Now all we have is each other

And a little memory to cling to

And still how won't let you go on all 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
