I followed you to Texas

I followed you to Utah

We didn't find it there, so we mo-oved on

I followed you to Alabam'

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



I had your child in Memphis

You heard of work in Na-ashville

We didn't find it there, so we mo-oved 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 go-old 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 followin'

My elusive dreams and schemes

For they're only fleeting things

My elusive dreams

(Ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh)

For they're only fleeting things

My elusive dreams
