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 thirteenth birthday, grandma the guitar me I should learn how to play And the gift she gave me me 'Cause the music is the thing, That got me to this point today
And I was lucky, 'cause I used her To get in with how to live And looking I now realize, music changed my life
out of school, I had no clue Of what it was I'd to do I know, the open road Was the way I chose to on through
I took that guitar with me, down the lonesome And I began my search for a And somewhere in the distance, the music and the Of how I would live along
Chorus (Last different) That music my life, music became my life
As time by, I found that I climb up on the stage and sing But when I sang, the I wrote It became a special thing
But songs to me personal And the business just killed me And I withdrew inside my With the contracts and the I started drinking, 'Til I lost touch with myself
I playing music for money brought problems I didn't face very well Being self-taught me nothing to lean on I had to in myself
I took a year off and did some Just to clean the out And I back to Grandma's guitar to hear a simple sound
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 soul are
Music my life, yeah, music really saved my life Yes, music saved my life
