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 Alabam'
Things looked 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
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
For they're only fleeting things
