George Jones My Elusive Dreams Lyrics

My Elusive Dreams Lyrics

I followed you to Texas

I followed you to Utah

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



I went with you to Alabam'

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 fleetin' things

My elusive dreams



You had my child in Memphis

Then 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 moved on



And now all we have is each other

And just a little memory to cling to

And still I won't let you go on alone



I know, you're tired of following

My elusive dreams and schemes

For they're only fleetin' things

My elusive dreams



For they're only fleetin' things

My elusive dreams
