In a house, I'd lay upstairs, And dream of how I'd someday there sat, a man who had A guitar he never to play
For my thirteenth birthday, grandma bought the Told me I should learn how to And the gift she me changed me the music is the main thing, That got me to this point here
And I was lucky, 'cause I used her To get in touch with how to And back I now realize, music changed my life
out of school, I had no clue Of it was I'd like to do I know, the open road Was the way I chose to pass on
I took that guitar me, down the lonesome highway And I began my for a song And somewhere in the distance, the and the mystery Of how I would live come
(Last line different) That music my life, music became my life
As time went by, I found I Could up on the stage and sing But when I sang, the songs I It became a very special
But to me were personal And the business side just me And I withdrew my shell With the and the lawsuits I heavy drinking, 'Til I lost touch with myself
I guess playing music for brought problems That I face very well self-taught gave me nothing to lean on I had to look in
I took a year off and did fasting Just to clean the out And I went back to guitar to hear a simple sound
When I around 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 saved my Yes, music really my life
