I followed you to Texas, I followed you to Utah We didn't find it there, so we moved on I went with you to Alabama, 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
You had your child in Memphis, then I 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
And 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 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 For they're only fleeting things My elusive dreams.
