Show Me Sixty Days

Verse 1

Sixty days they say

Hands off the trigger for a couple months

I've watched this movie play

Promises traded like cheap imports

Two months of quiet skies

Then we vote and count the cards we're dealt

But I know how this ends

Somebody always breaks the truce they felt

Pre-Chorus

Tell the man across the table

Tell him plainly what we need

Tell him hold your fire for real

Not on paper not in speech

Chorus

Sixty days

Sixty days

Show me sixty days of peace

Sixty days

Sixty days

Then we'll talk about the rest of it

Verse 2

I don't trust the calm

Calm is just a pause before the storm rolls in

Every deal I've signed

Came back crawling through the door again

So spare me the fine print

Spare me the solemn vow

I've heard that tone before

And it never held not once not now

Pre-Chorus

Tell the man across the border

Tell him plainly what it takes

Tell him hold your guns for real

Not for cameras not for show

Chorus

Sixty days

Sixty days

Show me sixty days of peace

Sixty days

Sixty days

Then we'll talk about the rest of it

Bridge

I want to be wrong

I really want to be wrong this time

Show me the proof not the speech

Show me the quiet not the line

Chorus

Sixty days

Sixty days

Show me sixty days of peace

Sixty days

Sixty days

Then we'll talk about the rest of it

Post-Chorus

Sixty days

Sixty days

(Show me)

Sixty days

Sixty days

(Show me)
