My Elusive Dreams Songtext

von 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 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

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 mem'ry 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
