Skeeter Davis & Bobby Bare My Elusive Dreams lyrics

I followed you to Texas I followed you to Utah
We didn't find it there so we moved on
I 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


Now we've left Alaska because there was no gold mine
But this time only two of us moved on
And now all we have is each other
And a little mem'ry that we could to cling to
But 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
