You followed me to Texas you followed me to Utah

We didn't find it there so we moved on

You followed me to Alabam things look 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

[ steel ]

You had my child in Memphis 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 to cling to

And still you won't let me go all alone

I know you're tired of following...

For they're only fleeting things my elusive dreams
