60 Years Lyrics
[Verse 1: John Gourley]
Boy looks high
He looks higher than the sky
You can see it in his eyes
Watch as he tries
The city never lets him go so he never tries
The city never lets you go so you never try
It's bigger than a breadbox
Texas California,
His path was on the parks
Running Knip to Pittman
The city was a shotgun ending in sunshine
Sunshine never ends so he never tries
Well we dug a hole
Filled it up with other holes
(Filled it up with other holes)
We found a home
Hid away our hungry men
[Chorus: John Gourley]
If it takes us sixty years I'll go
[Verse 2: John Gourley]
The boy looks high
He looks higher than the sky
You can see it in his eyes
Watch how he cries
The path was on a straight line
Church Street to Houston
Houston to the butte
Coming straight back to Houston
Well we dug a hole
Filled it up with other holes
Wn these other holes
We dug a hole
And buried all those hungry men
(all the hungry men)
[Chorus: John Gourley & Zoe Manville]
If it takes us sixty years
(If it takes us sixty years)
If it takes us sixty years I'll dig a hole and find a fire
If it takes us sixty years I'll dig another hole
[Verse 3: John Gourley]
Well we found a hole
We found it with some other holes
And we climbed inside
We climbed back out
We left em by the hungry men
All the hungry men
[Chorus: John Gourley & Zoe Manville]
If it takes us sixty years
I'll dig a hole and find a fire
If it takes us sixty years
I'll dig another hole

[Bridge: John Gourley & Zoe Manville]
He got it in his head he'd make
More money than the straight man, the straight man
He got it in his head he'd make
More money than the straight man, the straight man
He got it in his head he'd make
More money than the straight man, the straight man
He got it in his head he'd make
More money than the straight man, the straight man
[Outro: John Gourley & Zoe Manville]
The boy looks high, he looks higher than the sky
(If it takes us sixty years)
The city never lets him go so he never tries
The city never lets him go so he never tries
If it takes us sixty years I'll
Dig a hole and I'll find the fire
If it takes us sixty years I'll
Hid away the hungry men
If it takes us sixty years I'll
Dig a hole and we'll find the fire
If it takes us sixty years I'll
Dig another hole
He got it in his head he'd make
More money than the straight man, the straight man
He got it in his head he'd make
More money than the straight man, the straight man
He got it in his head he'd make
More money than the straight man, the straight man
He got it in his head he'd make
More money than the straight man, the straight man
