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
