G         D              C  
Young man drivin’ down a dusty road 
G         D                C 
Like he’s got somewhere to go 
G                 D          C   
Driving like he’s got a destination 
G                 D        C 
Like he’s got somewhere to go in that beat up Ford 
 
See there was a time when he was a young lost soul 
He was chasin’ butterflies and rainbows 
Till one day when he found his pot o’ gold 
In the words of a young man who ??? 
 
Chorus: 
                G 
And the old man said 
                  D         C 
You gotta have’ a good imagination 
G               D                G 
If you’re gonna live the life of hope 
        G                 D                 C  
He said got to drive that point like it’s a stallion 
G                D                 C 
Got to wear your heart just like a gun 
            G  D C               G D C 
The old man sa-a-id, the old man said 
 
The boy walked out with a new found hero 
Well he walked away a man 
Said to himself that dusty day way down in Texas 
Well I never gonna walk this path again 
 
Chorus 
 
Boy walked out dreamed of wild times 
With no cowboys or broke down cattle lines 
And now those fields are all but gone 
His hearts still free and he rides on
