My Elusive Dreams

My Elusive Dreams - David Houston/Tammy Wynette

Lyrics by：Claude Putman

Composed by：Billy Sherrill

I followed you to Texas

I followed you to Utah

We didn't find it there so we moved on

I followed 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

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

And now we've left Alaska

Because there was no go-old mine

But this time only two of us moves on

Now all we have is each other

And a little memory to 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

For they're only fleeting things

My elusive dreams
