Right now the best that spring to mind are the ones to These Days:

Jimmy shoes busted both his legs, trying to learn to fly
From a second story window, he just jumped and closed his eyes
His mamma said he was crazy - he said mamma "I've got to try"
Don't you know that all my heroes died
And I guess I'd rather die than fade away

But what I think is, when Bon Jovi write good lyrics (and they've written a few apart from These Days) they write the best. And when they don't... well then, you know.
