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 never learned to

For my thirteenth birthday, bought the guitar
Told me I should how to play
And the gift she me changed me
'Cause the music is the thing,
That got me to this point here

And I was lucky, 'cause I her gift
To get in touch with how to
And looking back I now realize, music changed my

Just out of school, I had no
Of it was I'd like to do
I only know, the open
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 along

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

As time went by, I that I
Could climb up on the stage and
But I sang, the songs I wrote
It a very special thing

But songs to me personal
And the business side just me
And I withdrew inside my
With the and the lawsuits
I heavy drinking,
'Til I lost touch with myself

I guess playing music for money problems
That I didn't face well
Being self-taught gave me nothing to on
I had to look in

I took a year off and did fasting
Just to clean the 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 the music had led me to the one place
Where my heart and soul are

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