My Elusive Dreams

Nancy: i followed you to texas, i followed you to utah
lee: we didn’t find it there so we moved on
Nancy: i followed you to alabam’, things looked good in birmingham
lee: 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
Nancy: i had your child in memphis, you heard of work in nashville
lee: we didn’t find it there so we moved on
Lee: to a small farm in nebraska, to a gold mine in alaska
nancy: we couldn’t find it there so we moved on
Lee: and now we’ve left alaska because there was no gold mine
Nancy: (spoken) but this time, only two of us move on. and now now we have
each other. and a little memory to cling to.
Lee: and 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
