My Elusive Dreams

I had your child in Memphis, you heard of work in Nashville
For they're only fleeting things, my elusive dreams
But this time only two of us moves on

We didn't find it there so we moved on
To a small farm in Nebraska, to a gold mine in Alaska
And now we've left Alaska, because there was no gold mine

I followed you to Alabam', things look good in Birmingham
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
We didn't find it there so we moved on
I know you're tired of following, my elusive dreams and schemes
Now all we have is each other and a little memory to cling to
We didn't find it there so we moved on
