My Elusive Dreams

My Elusive Dreams (Rerecorded) - Charlie Rich

Written by：Marty Robbins

You followed me to texas

You followed me to utah

We didn't find it there

So we moved on

You went with me to alabam

And 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

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 weve left alaska

'Cause there was no gold man

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 won't let me go

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
