Garage Band Dad

Verse 1

He kept an amp behind the lawnmower

Taped setlists on the water heater

My mother hummed through the kitchen wall

And I sat on the stairs for hours

Pre-Chorus

He never made a dime

Never made the radio

But he made that garage shake

Chorus

My dad started a band in the garage

Three chords and a busted string

My dad started a band in the garage

And I still hear him sing

Verse 2

Fridays meant the extension cords

Fog from a machine he borrowed

Beer cans ringing on the workbench

I learned every word by heart

Pre-Chorus

He never made a dime

Never made the radio

But he made that garage shake

Chorus

My dad started a band in the garage

Three chords and a busted string

My dad started a band in the garage

And I still hear him sing

Bridge

I found his old cassette today

His voice still young and far away

Same hands that fixed the sink and door

Could make a whole room want some more

Chorus

My dad started a band in the garage

Three chords and a busted string

My dad started a band in the garage

And I still hear him sing

Chorus

My dad started a band in the garage

My dad started a band in the garage

And I still hear him sing
