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 drea
