In a house, I'd lay upstairs, And of how I'd live someday there sat, a man who had A guitar he never learned to
For my thirteenth birthday, grandma the guitar Told me I should how to play And the gift she me changed me 'Cause the is the main 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, music my life
Just out of school, I had no Of what it was I'd to do I only know, the road Was the way I to pass on through
I took guitar with me, down the lonesome highway And I my search for a song And somewhere in the distance, the and the mystery Of how I live come along
Chorus (Last different) That music saved my life, music became my
As time by, I found that I Could up on the stage and sing But I sang, the songs I wrote It became a very special
But songs to me personal And the business side just me And I withdrew my shell With the contracts and the I started drinking, 'Til I finally lost touch myself
I playing music for money brought problems That I didn't face very Being self-taught gave me to lean on I had to in myself
I took a off and did some fasting to clean the cobwebs out And I went to Grandma's guitar Just to a simple sound
When I look me, I saw my loving family And a home we had built on a I discovered the had led me to the one place Where my heart and soul are
Music saved my life, yeah, music really my life Yes, music really my life
