In a house, I'd lay upstairs, And dream of how I'd live there sat, a man who had A guitar he learned to play
For my birthday, grandma bought the guitar me I should learn how to play And the she gave me changed me the music is the main thing, That got me to point here today
And I was lucky, 'cause I her gift To get in with how to live And looking I now realize, music changed my life
Just out of school, I had no Of it was I'd like to do I only know, the open Was the way I chose to on through
I took that guitar with me, down the lonesome And I my search for a song And somewhere in the distance, the and the mystery Of how I would live come
Chorus (Last different) That music saved my life, music became my
As time went by, I that I Could climb up on the stage and But when I sang, the I wrote It became a very thing
But songs to me personal And the side just killed me And I withdrew inside my With the contracts and the I started drinking, 'Til I lost touch with myself
I guess playing music for money brought That I didn't face well Being self-taught gave me to lean on I had to in myself
I took a year off and did fasting to clean the cobwebs out And I went back to guitar to hear a simple sound
When I look around me, I saw my family And a home we had on a hill I the music had led me to the one place Where my heart and soul are
Music saved my life, yeah, music really saved my Yes, music saved my life
