I don't need ten thousand acres on some big estate
Don't need no private plane flying me away
I'd rather sit on my front porch
And hear the tin roof catch the rain fall
I've got a little house up on big bare street
And it makes up with love what it lacks in square feet
And our family photos decorate the walls
My big dreams are small

Sometimes big dreams get in the way
Of all those little things that matter each day
Like an "I love you" or kissing a wife good night
And then tucking in those babies warm and tight
Just down the hall
My big dreams are small

When I watch fancy cars driving up and down the street
I see so much time and money spent away from family
My '63 Stepside runs great and never stops
My big dreams are small

Sometimes big dreams get in the way
Of all those little things that matter each day
Like an "I love you" or kissing a wife good night
And then tucking in those babies warm and tight
Just down the hall
My big dreams are small

She's got blue river eyes he's got hare coloured hair
Six and two yet they make quite a pair
And every birthday we add
Another inch on the wall
My big dreams are small

May tell me that I'm the greatest daddy of all
My big dreams are small
My big dreams are small
Less than four feet... tall
