My Elusive Dreams - David Allan Coe

作词：C. Putnam/B. Sherrill

作曲：C. Putnam/B. Sherrill

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 Iheard 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 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 tell me 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
