Luyện nghe bài hát The Gift

Jerry Jeff

In a house, I'd lay upstairs,
And dream of how I'd someday
Downstairs sat, a man who had
A guitar he learned to play

For my thirteenth birthday, grandma bought the
me I should learn how to play
And the gift she me changed me
the music is the main thing,
That got me to this point here

And I was lucky, I used her gift
To get in with how to live
And back 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 road
Was the way I to pass on through

I took that guitar with me, the lonesome highway
And I my search for a song
And somewhere in the distance, the music and the
Of how I would live come

(Last line different)
That music my life, music became my life

As went by, I found that I
Could climb up on the and sing
But when I sang, the I wrote
It a very special thing

But songs to me personal
And the side just killed me
And I withdrew my shell
the contracts and the lawsuits
I started drinking,
'Til I lost touch with myself

I guess playing music for brought problems
I didn't face very well
Being self-taught gave me nothing to on
I had to in myself

I a year off and did some fasting
to clean the cobwebs out
And I went to Grandma's guitar
Just to hear a simple

When I look around me, I saw my loving
And a home we had built on a
I the music had led me to the one place
my heart and soul are re-filled

Music saved my life, yeah, music saved my life
Yes, really saved my life
