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
