Bobby Bare - My Elusive Dreams Lyrics
I followed you to Texas, I followed you to Utah
We didn't find it there so we moved on
I followed you to Alabam, things look good in Birmingham
We didn't find it there so we moved on.
Elusive dreams and schemes
For they're only fleeting things
My elusive dreams.
I had your child in Memphis, you heard of work in Nashville
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.
Now we've left Alaska because there was no gold mine
And now all we have is each other
And a little mem'ry that we could to cling to
But still you won't let me go on alone.
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...

Bobby Bare My Elusive Dreams Comments
This is the perfect song for Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham back in their early days.
OW WoW what a sweet couple, they are genuine singers doing duets in their own voices Love IT xxxxxxxx
One of the most beautiful duets I've ever heard this story is one of true love
Lovely.
My favorite is Tammy and George Jones. I also like Ray Lynam and Philomena Begley. I think there are many who do this song well. I also like Bobby Vinton.
lookpri.thu.040419.12.05.
Probably the best rendition of "My Elusive Dream."
Glen Campbell and Bobby gentry was the best I heard
Are there no free downloads
Thanks for the beautiful remake
Fantastic duo. Skeeter is terrific by hereself and/or with any other male singer. Could listen to her alone, with Bobby Bare or Porter Wagoner all day. They just don't make singers like that anymore. Can't stand modern day C&W music!
My wife and I sang this on the Quaysde when we were moored up. Like any tramp ship we never knew where we were going ...so we moved on. Might as well sing and play my old Hohner, however ruefully.
I came of paxil 20mg cold turkey and had no withdrawal symptoms. I came off Xanax. 25 and had no withdrawal symptoms.
wow perfect tandem...so good
buetyful voice
Beautiful rendition of my favorite song.
This is nice but Tammy & George Jones took the the cake
This song obviously is a tribute to faithfulness. But I for one was never brave enough to ask that from anyone. Somehow I knew only a fool or someone without any sense would trust me that far. You can't build a future on ' dreams and schemes ', you have to be more realistic. But the thought and the possibility is nonetheless beautiful and so is this song.
i love this song
love my elusive dream I could listen to over and over again and again
Thought I died cause I am hearing an angel
2 of the real best, make a real best song. I miss S Davis. Fan in San Antonio Texas.
One of my favouriye songs of all time beautifully performed by this delightful duo
Great singers.
l remember the good old days of m
Not George and Tammy. But not bad. Great song.
+Kenneth Lingle Cant compare them theyr both great versions and lovely song
I remember listening to this song on a 8 track while working grave yard at the Esso in Princeton BC, I was 17, living on my own, and working full time while still going to high school
Love this version best. Bobby Bare's strong and emotional voice suits the song well!
BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Would love to have this CD!! Great duo, reminds me of Jim Ed Brown/Helen Cornelius, but I don't think Bobby was 'hitting' Skeeter, like Jim was ''tapping' Helen!?
I like this song.....
This is good. My favorite version is the David Houston/Tammy Wynette version.
@Meade Skelton you are sooo right. I agree 100 percent.
oh so sweet i just love this song!
เพลงโปรดเลยค่ะ+++++
marvellous...
Please find Skeeter's "I'm longing to hold you again".Thanks.
I also wish
Still a very beautiful duet - catch Bobby currently on RFD TV, still singing these days!
i totally like it !
Nice version, but if you get a chance, listen to Roger Miller's. He put some feeling into it.
@Wordsmith37 so sweet so sweet, thank you for sharing that :)
thank you for these romantic love songs.
just like those were the days - 30 years ago
cheers
Glad to see people still posting the oldies. Brings back some fine memories
skeeters Davis your songs make me feel so emotional and comforting
