My Elusive Dreams Lyrics - David Houston

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 followin' 

My elusive dreams and schemes 

For they're only fleeting things 

My elusive dreams 

You had your 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 moved 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 followin' 

My elusive dreams and schemes 

For they're only fleeting things 

My elusive dreams 

For they're only fleeting things 

My elusive dreams
