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 exactly what I'd done 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', showin' 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 I'm older and a little wiser now A wide eyed boy who set out to change the world Is gone but not forgotten 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 stoppin' 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', showin' 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 We're all out here tryin' to be happy 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', showin' me where to go They're what got this whole thing started They're what keep this cowboy ridin' down the road Big dreams and high hopes, big dreams, high hopes
