David Houston & Tammy Wynette - My Elusive Dreams lyrics

rate me

I followed you to Texas, I followed you to Utah<br />

We didn't find it there, so we moved on<br />

I went with you to Alabama, things looked good in Birmingham<br />

We didn't find it there, so we moved on<br />

<br />

I know you're tired of followin'<br />

My elusive dreams and schemes<br />

For they're only fleeting things<br />

My elusive dreams<br />

<br />

You had your child in Memphis, then I heard of work in Nashville<br />

We didn't find it there, so we moved on<br />

To a small farm in Nebraska, to a gold mine in Alaska<br />

We didn't find it there, so we moved on<br />

<br />

And now we've left Alaska<br />

Because there was no gold mine<br />

But this time, only two of us moved on<br />

<br />

And now all we have is each other<br />

And a little memory to cling to<br />

And still you won't let me go on alone<br />

<br />

I know you're tired of followin'<br />

My elusive dreams and schemes<br />

For they're only fleeting things<br />

My elusive dreams<br />

For they're only fleeting things<br />

My elusive dreams
