You followed me to texas you followed me to utah

We didnt find it there so we moved on

Then you went with me to alabam

Things look good in birmingham

We didnt find it there so we moved on



I know youre tired of following my elusive dreams and schemes

For theyre only fleeting things my elusive dreams



You had my child in memphis

Then I heard of work in nashville

But we didnt find it there so we moved on

To a small farm in nebraska

To a gold mine in alaska

We didnt find it there so we moved on



Now weve left alaska because there was no gold mine

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 wont let me go on alone



I know youre tired of following my elusive dreams and schemes

For theyre only fleeting things my elusive dreams
