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 learn how to play And the gift she gave me me 'Cause the music is the thing, That got me to this here today
And I was lucky, I used her gift To get in touch with how to And looking back I now realize, music my life
Just out of school, I had no Of what it was I'd to do I only know, the road Was the way I chose to pass on
I took that guitar with me, the lonesome highway And I began my for a song And somewhere in the distance, the and the mystery Of how I would come along
Chorus (Last different) That music saved my life, music became my
As time by, I found that I Could climb up on the stage and But when I sang, the songs I It became a very special
But songs to me personal And the side just killed me And I withdrew my shell With the contracts and the I started drinking, 'Til I finally lost touch myself
I playing music for money brought problems That I didn't very well Being self-taught me nothing to lean on I had to in myself
I took a 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 me, I saw my loving family And a we had built on a hill I discovered the music had led me to the one Where my and soul are re-filled
Music saved my life, yeah, really saved my life Yes, music saved my life
