Garageland Lyrics - Bon Jovi

I read the paper just the other day 

About a buddy of mine who headed to an early grave 

They say he went in his sleep with a smile on his face 

Bet he was dreaming 'bout better days 

When the crash of the drums hit like waves on a beach 

That cheap bass and guitar and our wildest dreams 

We were searching for a savior like anybody else 

Trying to save ourselves from ourselves 

Just a garage band 

We weren't alive, we were livin' in Garageland

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

Our parents all held jobs but we had other plans 

We acted like our heroes, they just didn't understand 

And we were never afraid to fall 

It was us and those four walls 

Just a garage band 

We weren't alive, we were livin' in Garageland 

Nothing else felt so right 

Just us, those guitars and a Saturday night 

Yeah! 

'Cause with a strap on your back, you have wings on your feet 

You felt like a king when you walked down the street 

We heard those old records and knew we belonged 

When the drums hit the groove, we all sing along 

Just a garage band 

Oh, we were livin' in Garageland 

Just a garage band 

We weren't alive, we were livin' in Garageland 

Nothing else felt so right 

It was us, those guitars and a Saturday night.
