In a house, I'd lay upstairs, And dream of how I'd live Downstairs sat, a man who had A he never learned to play
For my thirteenth birthday, grandma the guitar me I should learn how to play And the gift she me changed me the music is the main thing, That got me to point here today
And I was lucky, 'cause I used her To get in touch with how to 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 open Was the way I chose to on through
I that guitar with me, down 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 my life
As time went by, I found I climb up on the stage and sing But I sang, the songs I wrote It became a very special
But songs to me were And the business just killed me And I inside my shell With the contracts and the I started drinking, I finally lost touch with myself
I guess playing music for money problems That I face very well Being self-taught gave me to lean on I had to in myself
I took a off and did some fasting Just to the cobwebs out And I back to Grandma's guitar Just to hear a simple
When I look me, I saw my loving family And a home we had built on a I discovered the had led me to the one place Where my and soul are re-filled
Music saved my life, yeah, music really saved my Yes, music saved my life
