Written by Jack Ingram & Gary Burr
Recorded by Jack Ingram

Intro.:  | (Am) (G) | (Am) (G)

When (Am)I was young I'd (G)sit outside (Am)all night long and (G)watch the lights
Of the (F)big trucks on the (C)highway rollin' on (G)
I (Am)wished that I was (G)in a car (Am)drivin' fast, (G)drivin' far, 
And at (F)seventeen that's ex-(C)actly what I'd done (G)

(Bridge)
And (F)to this day, I don't know why I'm (G)restless
I guess (Am)some hearts are (F)simply born to run (G)

(Chorus)
(F)Big (C)dreams, high (G)hopes
They've (Am)led me through the hard times
Like a (F)north star shinin' (Em)showing me where to (G)go
They're what (F)got this whole thing (G)started
They're what (Am)keep this cowboy (Em)ridin' down the (F)road
Big (C)dreams, (G) high (C)hopes

Inst.:  | (Am) (G) | (Am) (G)

I'm (Am)older and a little (G)wiser now, a (Am)wide eyed boy (G)who set out
To (F)change the world is (C)gone but not forgot-(G)ten
I (Am)still chase lights and (G)wish on stars, (Am)that's what got that (G)boy this far
And (F)still feels good, (C)there ain't no point in stop-(Am)pin'

(Bridge)
But (F)even though I hardly ever catch (G) 'em
(Am)God, don't it (F)just feel good to try (G)

(Chorus)
(F)Big (C)dreams, high (G)hopes
They've (Am)led me through the hard times
Like a (F)north star shinin' (Em)showing me where to (G)go
They're what (F)got this whole thing (G)started
They're what (Am)keep this cowboy (Em)ridin' down the (F)road
Big (C)dreams, (G) high (C)hopes (Am)

(Bridge)
(F)We're all out here tryin' to be hap-(G)py
To be (Am)happy (F)all you really need (G) is

(Chorus)
(F)Big (C)dreams, high (G)hopes
They've (Am)led me through the hard times
Like a (F)north star shinin' (Em)showing me where to (G)go
They're what (F)got this whole thing (G)started
They're what (Am)keep this cowboy (Em)ridin' down the (F)road
Big (C)dreams, (G) high (C)hopes, (F) big (C)dreams, (G) high (C)hopes
