My Elusive Dreams
By Charlie Rich

You followed me to Texas.
You followed me to Utah.
We didnâ??t find it there,
So we moved on.

You went with me to Alabam,
And things looked good in Birmingham.
We didnâ??t find it there,
So, we moved on.

I know youâ??re tired of following
My elusive dreams and schemes!
For theyâ??re only fleeting thingsâ??
My elusive dreams.

You had my child in Memphis.
Then I heard of work in Nashville.
But we didnâ??t find it there,
So we moved onâ??

To a small farm in Nebraskaâ??
To a gold mine in Alaskaâ??
We didnâ??t find it there,
So we moved on.

Now weâ??ve left Alaska,
â??cause there was no gold there.
But this time,
Only two of us moved on.

Now all we have is each other,
And a little memory to cling to.
Still you wonâ??t let me goâ??
Go on alone.

I know youâ??re tired of following
My elusive dreams and schemes!
For theyâ??re only fleeting thingsâ??
My elusive dreams.
