"My Elusive Dreams" lyrics - GEORGE JONES

[T:] I followed you to Texas
[T:] I followed you to Utah
[G:] We didn't find it there, so we moved on
[T:] I went with you to Alabam'
[T:] Things looked good in Birmingham
[G:] We didn't find it there, so we moved on

[Chorus both:]
I know you're tired of followin'
My elusive dreams and schemes
For they're only fleeting things
My elusive dreams

[G:] You had my child in Memphis
[G:] Then I heard of work in Nashville
[T:] We didn't find it there, so we moved on
[G:] To a small farm in Nebraska
[G:] To a gold mine in Alaska
[T:] We didn't find it there, so we moved on

[Both:] And now we've left Alaska
[Both:] Because there was no gold mine
[T:] But this time, only two of us moved on
[G:] And now all we have is each other
[G:] And a little memory to cling to
[T:] And still I won't let you go on alone

[Chorus both:]
I know you're tired of followin'
My elusive dreams and schemes
For they're only a fleeting thing
My elusive dreams

For they're only a fleeting thing, my elusive dreams...
