High Hopes

had to have high, high hopes for a living 

shooting for the stars when I couldn't make a killing

didn't have a dame but I always had a vision

always had high, high hopes

had to have high,high hopes for a living

didn't know how but I always had a feeling 

I was gonna be that one million 

always had high high hopes

mama said

fulfill the propechy 

be something greater

go make a legacy

manifest destiny

back in the days 

we wanted everything, wanted everything

mama said

burn your biographies

rewrite your history

light up your wildest dreams

museum victories, everyday

we wanted everything, wanted everything

mama said don't give up, it's a little complicated

all tied up, no more love and I'd hate to see you waiting 

had to have high, high hopes for a living 

shooting for the stars when I couldn't make a killing

didn't have a dame but I always had a vision

always had high, high hopes

had to have high,high hopes for a living

didn't know how but I always had a feeling 

I was gonna be that one million 

always had high high hopes

mama said

it's uphill for oddities 

the stranger crusaders

ain't ever wannabes

the weird and the novelties

don't ever change 

we wanted everything, wanted everything

stay up on that rise

stay up on that rise and never come down

stay up on that rise

stay up on that rise and never come down

mama said don't give up, it's a little complicated

all tied up, no more love and I'd hate to see you waiting 

they say it's all been done but they haven't seen the best of me

so I got one more run and it's gonna be a sight to see

had to have high, high hopes for a living 

shooting for the stars when I couldn't make a killing

didn't have a dame but I always had a vision

always had high, high hopes

had to have high, high hopes for a living 

shooting for the stars when I couldn't make a killing

didn't have a dame but I always had a vision

always had high, high hopes

had to have high,high hopes for a living

didn't know how but I always had a feeling 

I was gonna be that one million 

always had high high hopes

had to have high, high hopes for a living 

shooting for the stars when I couldn't make a killing

didn't have a dame but I always had a vision

always had high, high hopes
