Army of Freshmen - Deland Avenue Lyrics

Down Deland in a typical arrival
An expert on last picked survival
What the future holds for an 8 year old
When Graceland is a shed in the backyard
He doesn't know but life is gonna get hard
It always does and looking back I always was
If I make it out of here, I'll save a souvenir
To remember when I lived in fear

Maybe I was wrong the dream is gone
The only safe place is a song
In your head it keeps you hanging on
Someday we'll be where we belong

Life lessons on the cover of a comic book
He's the one who's not afraid to look
In the school cloak room change is coming soon
Young man headed west towards a daydream
Been done before but only on the big screen
The old man said son the drive-in's dead
If I make it out of here I'll save a souvenir
To remember when I lived in fear

Maybe I was wrong the dream is gone
The only safe place is a song
In your head it keeps you hanging on
Someday we'll be where we belong

And now I'm watching me
Waiting for the school bus
Time makes a memory of all of us
But we're here somehow
And that's enough for now
Maybe I was wrong the dream is gone
The only safe place is a song

Maybe I was wrong the dream is gone
The only safe place is a song
In your head it keeps you hanging on
Someday we'll be where we belong
Looks like my life looks like my life looks mY life
Looks like my life has finally come around
