Skeeter Davis – My Elusive Dreams lyrics

[ Skeeter ]
I followed you to Texas I followed you to Utah
[ Bobby ]
We didn't find it there so we moved on
[ Skeeter ]
I followed you to Alabam things look good in Birmingham
[ Bobby ]
We didn't find it there so we moved on
[ Both ]
I know you're tired of following my elusive dreams and schemes
For they're only fleeting things my elusive dreams
[ Skeeter ]
I had your child in Memphis you heard of work in Nashville
[ Bobby ]
We didn't find it there so we moved on
To a small farm in Nebraska to a gold mine in Alaska
[ Skeeter ]
We didn't find it there so we moved on
[ Bobby ]
Now we've left Alaska because there was no gold mine
[ Skeeter ]
But this time only two of us moved on
And now all we have is each other and a little mem'ry that we could to cling to
[ Bobby ]
But still you won't let me go on alone
[ Both ]
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
