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      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 ever felt so right   Just us, those guitars and a Saturday night      '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'd all sing along      Just a garage band   Oh, we were livin' in Garageland   Just a garage band, oh, we weren't alive   We were livin' in Garageland   Nothing ever felt so right   It was us, those guitars and a Saturday night
