In a house, I'd lay upstairs, And of how I'd live someday Downstairs sat, a man who had A guitar he never to play
For my thirteenth birthday, grandma the guitar Told me I should learn how to And the she gave me changed me the music is the main thing, That got me to point here today
And I was lucky, 'cause I her gift To get in touch how to live And looking I now realize, music changed my life
Just out of school, I had no Of what it was I'd 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 in the distance, the music and the mystery Of how I would live come
(Last line different) That music saved my life, music became my
As time by, I found that I Could up on the stage and sing But I sang, the songs I wrote It became a special thing
But songs to me personal And the side just killed me And I withdrew inside my With the contracts and the I started drinking, 'Til I finally touch with myself
I guess playing music for brought problems That I face very well Being self-taught me nothing to lean on I had to look in
I took a year off and did fasting to clean the cobwebs out And I went back to guitar Just to hear a sound
I look around me, I saw my loving family And a home we had on a hill I the music had led me to the one place Where my and soul are re-filled
Music my life, yeah, music really saved my life Yes, music really saved my
