I followed you to Texas, I followed you to Utah We didn't find it there so we moved on
I went with 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 Oh, they're only fleeting things, my elusive dreams
You had my child in Memphis, then 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
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 Oh, they're only fleeting things, my elusive dreams
I know you're tired of following my elusive dreams and schemes Oh, they're only fleeting things, my elusive dreams
