You followed me to Te as

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

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 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 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.
