The Song that Saved My Life

Why can't I..

see my life for what it is

Why can't I take my life...

for what it's worth

Do I know

right from wrong?

Do I know

here from there?

Will I know where I'm going...

when I get there?

Why can't I...

see my life for what it is

Why can't I take my life...

For what it's worth

Been about a year since I touch my guitar. Strung her up a few weeks back. 

Tuned her up and started playing before bed. All these old songs jumped right outta my head. 

Couldn't play long as my fingers got sore. Every night started playing a little more. 

Tonight that old melody started to hum. Made me think clearly about all the things I've done. 

So beautiful so sad so wonderful so bad. Heard those words singing in my head. 

I knew these words were the song that saved my life. That song that gave me this moment here in bed with my wife. 

The songs that came after about my dogs and my kids. The wedding song to Suzy 20 years later still my wife. Everything that's happened I owe that song that saved my life.
