My Elusive Dreams

Now we've left Alaska because there was no gold mine
For they're only fleeting things

But we didn't find it there, so we moved on
I know you're tired of following
For they're only fleeting things
You had my child in Memphis then I heard of work in Nashville
And a little memory to cling to
My elusive dreams and schemes
We didn't find it there, so we moved on
To a gold mine in Alaska
You went with me to Alabam'
We didn't find it there, so we moved on
And things looked good in Birmingham
My elusive dreams

I know you're tired of following

My elusive dreams

For they're only fleeting things
My elusive dreams and schemes
To a small farm in Nebraska

But this time only two of us moved on
And now all we have is each other
And still you won't let me go, go on alone
