In a house, I'd lay upstairs, And of how I'd live someday Downstairs sat, a man who had A guitar he learned to play
For my thirteenth birthday, grandma the guitar me I should learn how to play And the gift she gave me me 'Cause the music is the thing, got me to this point here today
And I was lucky, 'cause I her gift To get in touch how to live And looking back I now realize, changed my life
Just out of school, I had no Of what it was I'd to do I know, the open road Was the way I chose to pass on
I took that guitar with me, down the lonesome And I my search for a song And in the distance, the music and the mystery Of how I would live come
Chorus (Last different) That saved my life, music became my life
As time went by, I that I Could climb up on the and sing But I sang, the songs I wrote It became a special thing
But songs to me personal And the business just killed me And I withdrew inside my With the contracts and the I heavy drinking, 'Til I finally lost touch myself
I guess playing music for money brought That I didn't face well Being gave me nothing to lean on I had to look in
I a year off and did some fasting Just to the cobwebs out And I back to Grandma's guitar to hear a simple sound
When I look around me, I saw my loving And a home we had built on a I discovered the music had led me to the one Where my heart and are re-filled
Music saved my life, yeah, music really saved my Yes, music really my life
