Written by C. Putman and B. Sherrill 

(As performed by Tammy Wynette and David Houston



T:  I followed you to Texas

T:  I followed you to Utah

D:  We didn't find it there, so we moved on

T:  I followed you to Alabam'

T:  Things looked good in Birmingham

D:  We didn't find it there, so we moved on



CHORUS (Both):

I know you're tired of followin'

My elusive dreams and schemes

For they're only fleeting things

My elusive dreams



T:  I had your child in Memphis

T:  You heard of work in Nashville

D:  We didn't find it there, so we moved on

D:  To a small farm in Nebraska

D:  To a gold mine in Alaska

T:  We didn't find it there, so we moved on



Both:  And now we've left Alaska

Both:  Because there was no gold mine

T:  But this time, only two of us moved on

T:  Now all we have is each other

T:  And a little memory to cling to

D:  And still you won't let me go on alone



REPEAT CHORUS (Both)



Both:  For they're only fleeting things, my elusive dreams
