In a house, I'd lay upstairs, And dream of how I'd live there sat, a man who had A guitar he never to play
For my birthday, grandma bought the guitar Told me I should how to play And the she gave me changed me the music is the main thing, That got me to this point here
And I was lucky, 'cause I used her To get in touch how to live And back 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 to pass on through
I took guitar with me, down the lonesome highway 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 that I Could climb up on the stage and But when I sang, the I wrote It became a special thing
But songs to me were And the business side just me And I withdrew my shell the contracts and the lawsuits I heavy drinking, 'Til I finally lost touch myself
I guess playing music for money problems That I didn't face very Being self-taught gave me nothing to on I had to look in
I took a year off and did fasting to clean the cobwebs out And I went to Grandma's guitar to hear a simple sound
When I look me, I saw my loving family And a home we had on a hill I the music had led me to the one place my heart and soul are re-filled
Music saved my life, yeah, music saved my life Yes, music really saved my
