In a house, I'd lay upstairs, And dream of how I'd someday Downstairs sat, a man who had A he never learned to play
For my thirteenth birthday, bought the guitar Told me I should learn how to And the she gave me changed me 'Cause the music is the thing, That got me to this point today
And I was lucky, 'cause I her gift To get in touch how to live And looking back I now realize, music my life
Just out of school, I had no Of what it was I'd to do I only know, the open Was the way I chose to pass on
I took that guitar with me, down the highway And I my search for a song And somewhere in the distance, the music and the Of how I would live along
Chorus (Last different) That music my life, music became my life
As went by, I found that I Could up on the stage and sing But when I sang, the I wrote It became a very thing
But songs to me were And the side just killed me And I inside my shell With the contracts and the I heavy drinking, 'Til I lost touch with myself
I guess music for money brought problems I didn't face very well Being self-taught gave me nothing to on I had to look in
I took a year off and did some Just to clean the out And I went to Grandma's guitar Just to a simple sound
When I around me, I saw my loving family And a home we had on a hill I discovered the had led me to the one place my heart and soul are re-filled
Music saved my life, yeah, music saved my life Yes, music really my life
