jerry jeff walker – the gift كلمات اغاني
jerry jeff walker
in a boarding house, i’d lay upstairs,
and dream of how i’d live someday
downstairs there sat, a man who had
a guitar he never learned to play
for my thirteenth birthday, grandma bought the guitar
told me i should learn how to play
and the gift she gave me changed me
’cause the music is the main thing,
that got me to this point here today
chorus:
and i was lucky, ’cause i used her gift
to get in touch with how to live
and looking back i now realize, music changed my life
just out of school, i had no clue
of what it was i’d like to do
i only know, the open road
was the way i chose to p-ss on through
i took that guitar with me, down the lonesome highway
and i began my search for a song
and somewhere in the distance, the music and the mystery
of how i would live come along
chorus (last line different)
that music saved my life, music became my life
as time went by, i found that i
could climb up on the stage and sing
but when i sang, the songs i wrote
it became a very special thing
but songs to me were personal
and the business side just killed me
and i withdrew inside my sh-ll
with the contracts and the lawsuits
i started heavy drinking,
’til i finally lost touch with myself
bridge:
i guess playing music for money brought problems
that i didn’t face very well
being self-taught gave me nothing to lean on
i had to look in myself
i took a year off and did some fasting
just to clean the cobwebs out
and i went back to grandma’s guitar
just to hear a simple sound
when i look around me, i saw my loving family
and a home we had built on a hill
i discovered the music had led me to the one place
where my heart and soul are re-filled
chorus:
music saved my life, yeah, music really saved my life
yes, music really saved my life
