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

And to this day, I don't know why I'm restless
Am F G
I guess some hearts are simply born to run
F C G
Big dreams, high hopes
Am
They've led me through the hard times
F Em G
Like a north star shinin' showing me where to go
F G
They're what got this whole thing started
Am Em F
They're what keep this cowboy ridin' down the road
C G C
Big dreams, high hopes

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

But even though I hardly ever catch 'em

God, don't it just feel good to try
