Lyrics of My elusive dreams

By curly putman and billy sherrill

(added 10/25/97, thanks to pauline buchanan)

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 a-la-bam',
Things looked good in birmingham,
We didn't find it there so we moved on.
I know you're tired of fol-low-ing
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 fol-low-ing
My elusive dreams and schemes
For they're only fleeting things,
My elusive dreams.

Now we've left a-las-ka because thewas no gold mine,
But this time only two of us moved on.
And 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.
