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 Alabama
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
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 move on

And now, all we have is each other
And a little memory that we can cling to
But still, you won't let me go on, all alone

I know you're tired of following
My elusive dreams and schemes
For they're only fleeting things
My elusive dreams
