In a house, I'd lay upstairs, And of how I'd live someday Downstairs sat, a man who had A guitar he never learned to

And I was lucky, I used her gift To get in with how to live And looking I now realize, music changed my life
out of school, I had no clue Of it was I'd like to do I only know, the open Was the way I chose to pass on
I took that with me, down the lonesome highway And I began my for a song And in the distance, the music and the mystery Of how I would live along
Chorus (Last different) That music saved my life, music became my
As time went by, I found I Could climb up on the stage and But I sang, the songs I wrote It a very special thing
But to me were personal And the business side just me And I inside my shell With the contracts and the I started drinking, 'Til I finally touch with myself
I guess playing music for money brought 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 Just to the cobwebs out And I went back to guitar Just to hear a simple
When I look around me, I saw my family And a home we had built on a I discovered the had led me to the one place Where my heart and are re-filled
Music saved my life, yeah, really saved my life Yes, music really saved my
