BOBBY BARE
"My Elusive Dreams"
(Curly Putman / Billy Sherrill)

[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
