When I was young I'd sit outside all night long and watch the lights
Of the big trucks on the highway rollin' on
I wished that I was in a car drivin' fast, drivin' far,
And at seventeen that's ex- actly what I'd done
Bridge
And to this day, I don't know why I'm restless
I guess some hearts are simply born to run
Big dreams, high hopes
They've led me through the hard times
Like a north star shinin' showing me where to go
They're what got this whole thing started
They're what keep this cowboy ridin' down the road
Big dreams, high hopes
Instrumental
I'm older and a little wiser now, a wide eyed boy who set out
To change the world is gone but not forgot- ten
I still chase lights and wish on stars, that's what got that boy this far
And still feels good, there ain't no point in stop- pin'
Bridge
But even though I hardly ever catch 'em
God, don't it just feel good to try
Big dreams, high hopes
They've led me through the hard times
Like a north star shinin' showing me where to go
They're what got this whole thing started
They're what keep this cowboy ridin' down the road
Big dreams, high hopes
Bridge
We're all out here tryin' to be hap- py
To be happy all you really need is
Big dreams, high hopes
They've led me through the hard times
Like a north star shinin' showing me where to go
They're what got this whole thing started
They're what keep this cowboy ridin' down the road
Big dreams, high hopes, big dreams, high hopes
