David Houston - My Elusive Dreams Lyrics

I'd followed me to Texas I'd followed me to Utah

We didn't find it there so we moved on

I'd followed you to Alabam things look 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

I had your child in Memphis you 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 moves on

Now all we have is each other and a little memory to cling to

And still you won't let me go on alone

I know you're tired of following my elusive dreams and schemes

For they're only fleeting things my elusive dreams

For they're only fleeting things my elusive dreams
