In a house, I'd lay upstairs, And dream of how I'd live there sat, a man who had A guitar he learned to play
For my thirteenth birthday, grandma bought the 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 here today
And I was lucky, 'cause I used her To get in with 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 only know, the road Was the way I chose to on through
I that guitar with me, down the lonesome highway And I began my for a song And somewhere in the distance, the and the mystery Of how I live come along
Chorus (Last different) That saved my life, music became my life
As time went by, I found 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 business just killed me And I inside my shell With the contracts and the I started drinking, 'Til I lost touch with myself
I guess playing music for money brought I didn't face very well Being self-taught gave me nothing to on I had to look in
I took a year off and did some Just to the cobwebs out And I went back to Grandma's Just to a simple sound
When I look around me, I saw my loving 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 saved my life Yes, music really my life
