[Verse 1: John Gourley]
The 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 Knik 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
With these other holes
We dug a hole
And buried all those hungry men
(all the hungry men)
The 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

His path was on the parks
Running Knik 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

If it takes us sixty years I'll go

The boy looks high
He looks higher than the sky

Coming straight back to Houston
Well we dug a hole
Filled it up with other holes
With these other holes
We dug a hole
And buried all those hungry men
