My Elusive Dreams Lyrics - Roger Miller

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 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 

You had my child in Memphis, then I heard of work in Nashville 

But 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 

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 following 

My elusive dreams and schemes 

For they're only fleeting things 

My elusive dreams 

For they're only fleeting things 

My elusive dreams
