I'd followed me to Texas I'd followed me to Utah
|
We didn't find it there so we moved on
|
I'd followed you to Alabam 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
|
And now we've left Alaska because there was no gold mine
|
But this time only two of us moves 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
|
