When I was young I'd sit outside All night long and watch the lights Of the big trucks on the highway rolling on I'd wish that I was in a car driving fast, driving far And at 17, 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 shining showing me where to go They're what got this whole thing started They're what kept this cowboy riding 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 it still feels good There ain't no point in stopping And 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 shining showing me where to go They're what got this whole thing started They're what kept this cowboy riding down the road Big dreams high hopes We're all out here trying 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 shining showing me where to go They're what got this whole thing started They're what kept this cowboy riding down the road Big dreams high hopes Big dreams high hopes
