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 [Bm]schemes
For they're only fleeting things
My elusive dreams
I had your child in Memρhis
You heard of work in Nashville
We didn't find it there
So we moved on
To a small [Em]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 [Am7]no goldmine
But this time only two of us move on
And now, now we have each other
And a little memory to [C7]cling to
And still you [A7won't let me go on [C7]alone
I know you're tired of following
My elusive dreams and [Bm]schemes
For they're only fleeting things
My elusive dreams
