Roger Miller - My Elusive Dreams lyrics

rate me

You followed me to Texas, you followed me to Utah

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

Then you went with me to Alabama, 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

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 because there was no gold mine

But this time only two of us moved 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
