Skeeter Davis Bobby Bare - 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
