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, grandma bought the Told me I should learn how to And the she gave me changed me the music is the main thing, That got me to this point here
And I was lucky, 'cause I her gift To get in with how to live And looking back I now realize, changed my life
Just out of school, I had no Of it was I'd like 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 search for a And somewhere in the distance, the and the mystery Of how I would live come
Chorus (Last different) That music saved my life, music my life
As time went by, I found I Could up on the stage and sing But when I sang, the I wrote It became a very thing
But songs to me personal And the business side killed me And I withdrew inside my With the and the lawsuits I started drinking, I finally lost touch with myself
I guess playing for money brought problems That I didn't face very Being self-taught gave me nothing to on I had to look in
I a year off and did some fasting Just to the cobwebs out And I went back to guitar Just to a simple sound
When I look around me, I saw my loving And a home we had on a hill I discovered the had led me to the one place Where my and soul are re-filled
Music saved my life, yeah, music saved my life Yes, music really my life
