My Elusive Dreams Lyrics - Jack Greene

You followed me to Texas 

You followed me to Utah 

We didn't find it there, so we moved on 

Then you went with me to Alabama 

Things looked 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 

You had my 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 move on 

And now, all we have is each other 

And a little memory that we can cling to 

But still, you won't let me go on, all alone 

I know you're tired of following 

My elusive dreams and schemes 

For they're only fleeting things 

My elusive dreams
