I followed me to Texas I followed me 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

Oh I'm so tired of following your elusive dreams and schemes
For they're only fleeting things your elusive dreams

I had your child in Memphis then you've 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
But we didn't find it there so we moved on

Now we've left Alaska because there was no gold dear
But this time only two of us moves on
And all we have of each other and that precious little memory to cling to
And still I can't seem to let you go on all alone

Oh yes I'm so tired of following...
They're only fleeting things your elusive dreams
