My Elusive Dreams - Bobbie Gentry

作曲：Bill Sherrill/Claude Putnam

I followed you to Texas

I followed you to Utah

We didn't find it there so we moved on

I went with you to Alabama

Things looked 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

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

And now we've left Alaska

Because the was no gold mine

But this time

only two of us moved on

And now all we have is each other

And a little memory 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

I know you're tired of following

My elusive dreams and schemes

For they're only fleeting things

My elusive dreams
