In a house, I'd lay upstairs, And dream of how I'd live Downstairs sat, a man who had A guitar he never to play
For my thirteenth birthday, grandma the guitar Told me I learn how to play And the she gave me changed me the music is the main thing, That got me to this here today
And I was lucky, I used her gift To get in touch how to live And back I now realize, music changed my life
out of school, I had no clue Of what it was I'd to do I only know, the 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 and the mystery Of how I would live along
(Last line different) That saved my life, music became my life
As time went by, I found I Could climb up on the stage and But when I sang, the I wrote It a very special thing
But songs to me personal And the side just killed me And I withdrew inside my With the and the lawsuits I started drinking, 'Til I finally lost touch myself
I guess music for money brought problems That I didn't face well Being self-taught gave me nothing to on I had to look in
I a year off and did some fasting Just to clean the out And I went back to guitar Just to a simple sound
I look around me, I saw my loving family And a we had built on a hill I discovered the had led me to the one place Where my heart and are re-filled
Music saved my life, yeah, music really saved my Yes, music really my life
