Lyrics My Elusive Dreams - Porter Wagoner, Pamela Rose Gadd

My Elusive Dreams

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 A-la-bam'
Things looked good in Birmingham
We didn’t find it there so we moved on
I know you’re tired of fol-low-ing
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
I know you’re tired of fol-low-ing
My elusive dreams and schemes
For they’re only fleeting things
My elusive dreams
Now we’ve left A-las-ka because thewas no gold mine
But this time only two of us moved on
And 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
