Biography:
Around the time Jack Ingram started writing songs and performing, he was studying psychology at Southern Methodist University in Dallas. "Music and psychology come from the same place," he says. "It's about studying why people tick. I write songs to figure out my world, why people act the way they do, why they make the decisions they do."
Lucky for us, Ingram chose a career in music-and discovered an altogether different kind of therapy.

Big Dreams & High Hopes

[Intro]
Am G Am G
Am G Am G
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
[Bridge]
F G
And to this day, I don't know why I'm restless
Am F G
I guess some hearts are simply born to run
[Chorus]
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
[Instrumental]
Am G Am G
Am G Am G
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'
[Bridge]
F G
But even though I hardly ever catch 'em
Am F G
God, don't it just feel good to try
[Chorus]
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 Am
Big dreams, high hopes
[Bridge]
F G
We're all out here tryin' to be hap- py
Am F G
To be happy all you really need is
[Chorus]
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 F C G C
Big dreams, high hopes, big dreams, high hopes
