My Elusive Dreams Lyrics - Bobby Bare

I followed you to Texas I followed you to Utah 

We didn't find it there so we moved on 

I followed you to Alabama things look 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 

I had your child in Memphis you 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 

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 that we could to cling to 

But 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 

For they're only fleeting things my elusive dreams
