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.

I know you're tired of following my
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
But this time only two of us move on
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
  1. s.... b....

    This is the perfect song for Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham back in their early days.

  2. N.... G....

    OW WoW what a sweet couple, they are genuine singers doing duets in their own voices Love IT xxxxxxxx

  3. R.... S....

    One of the most beautiful duets I've ever heard this story is one of true love

  4. M.... F....

    Lovely.

  5. H.... D....

    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.

  6. P.... S....

    lookpri.thu.040419.12.05.

  7. L.... M....

    Probably the best rendition of "My Elusive Dream."

  8. G.... G....

    Glen Campbell and Bobby gentry was the best I heard

  9. a.... k....

    Are there no free downloads

  10. U.... S....

    Thanks for the beautiful remake

  11. G.... N....

    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!

  12. D.... D....

    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.

  13. F.... W....

    I came of paxil 20mg cold turkey and had no withdrawal symptoms. I came off Xanax. 25 and had no withdrawal symptoms.

  14. r.... f....

    wow perfect tandem...so good

  15. G.... b....

    buetyful voice

  16. P.... G....

    Beautiful rendition of my favorite song.

  17. S.... M....

    This is nice but Tammy & George Jones took the the cake

  18. C.... S....

    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.

  19. M.... K....

    i love this song

  20. M.... C....

    love my elusive dream I could listen to over and over again and again

  21. F.... M....

    Thought I died cause I am hearing an angel

    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!?
