In a house, I'd lay upstairs, And dream of how I'd live Downstairs sat, a man who had A guitar he learned to play
For my birthday, grandma bought the guitar Told me I should how to play And the she gave me changed me 'Cause the is the main thing, That got me to this point here
And I was lucky, I used her gift To get in touch with how to And looking back I now realize, music my life
out of school, I had no clue Of it was I'd like to do I know, the open road Was the way I chose to pass on
I took guitar with me, down the lonesome highway And I began my for a song And somewhere in the distance, the music and the Of how I would live along
Chorus (Last different) That music saved my life, became my life
As time by, I found that I Could climb up on the stage and But when I sang, the songs I It a very special thing
But songs to me were And the business side killed me And I withdrew my shell the contracts and the lawsuits I heavy drinking, 'Til I finally lost touch with
I guess playing music for money brought That I didn't very well self-taught gave me nothing to lean on I had to in myself
I took a year off and did some Just to clean the out And I back to Grandma's guitar Just to hear a sound
When I look around me, I saw my family And a home we had on a hill I discovered the music had led me to the one Where my heart and soul are
Music saved my life, yeah, music really my life Yes, music really saved my
