My Elusive Dreams Lyrics

My Elusive Dreams
By Charlie Rich

You followed me to Texas.
You
followed me to Utah.
We didn’t find it there,
So we moved
on.

You went with me to Alabam,
And 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.
But 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.

Now we’ve left Alaska,
‘cause
there was no gold there.
But this time, 
Only two of us moved
on.

Now all we have is each other,
And a little memory to cling
to.
Still you won’t let me go…
Go on alone.

I know
you’re tired of following
My elusive dreams and schemes!
For
they’re only fleeting things…
My elusive dreams.
