My elusive dreams

Verse 2

You had my child in Memphis then I heard of work in Nashville

But we didn't find it there so we moved on

To a small farm in Nebraska, to a gold mine in Alaska

We didn't find it there so we moved on

Verse 3

Now we've left Alaska because there was no gold mine

But this time only two of us moved on

And now all we have is each other and a little memory

To cling to and still you won't let me go on alone
