My Elusive Dreams

I know you're tired of following, my elusive dreams and schemes
We didn't find it there so we moved on
But this time only two of us moves on
To a small farm in Nebraska, to a gold mine in Alaska
I followed you to Alabam', things look good in Birmingham
And still you won't let me go on alone
For they're only fleeting things, my elusive dreams
We didn't find it there so we moved on

Now all we have is each other and a little memory to cling to
And now we've left Alaska, because there was no gold mine
I know you're tired of following, my elusive dreams and schemes
I had your child in Memphis, you heard of work in Nashville
For they're only fleeting things, my elusive dreams

We didn't find it there so we moved on
