MUSIC DONE SAVED A LIFE
I WAS PUTTING ALONG ON A HILLY BACK ROAD
SOMEWHERE NEAR CHESTERFIELD
THIS SONG WANDERED ON THE RADIO DIAL
I SLOWED DOWN AND TURNED ON THE WHEEL
DROVE OVER THE SHOULDER TURNED OFF THE KEY
CRANKED UP THAT LONG AGO DAY
FLASHED ON A TIME, STILL FRESH IN MY MIND
AND THOUGHT ABOUT SOMETHING HE’D SAY
MUSIC DONE SAVED A LIFE
PUSHED BACK ON BLUES, TROUBLES AND STRIFE
LIKE EATING OR BREATHING, TURNS ON A LIGHT
MUSIC DONE SAVED A LIFE
SOME FOLKS ‘LL LEAN ON A DRINK NOW AND THEN
AND OTHERS NEED STRONGER STUFF
BUT STRUMMING THESE STRINGS, AND TUNES THAT I SING
THE TICKET WHEN I’VE HAD ENOUGH
MUSIC DONE SAVED A LIFE
SMOOTHED DOWN A ROUGH PATCH, SANDED DOWN STRIFE
AS LONG AS I BEEN HERE, IT’S BEEN LIKE A WIFE
MUSIC DONE SAVED A LIFE
WHILE IT DRIFTS THROUGH THE AIR, INVISIBLE SOUND
LIFTS UP THE SOULS BEEN STUCK ON SOME GROUND
BRINGS ON A HIGH, RIGHT THROUGH YOUR EARS
SOMETIMES IT’S LAUGHTER, OTHER TIMES TEARS
SO CRY
GO ON AND CRY
Nice job, Tom,
It even sounds pretty good on my phone (a little
thin and trebly)but you nailed the feeling. I hear
ya. It did the same thing for me, without a
doubt..
Thanks for sharing and for keepin’ on keepin’ on.
Le Chaim!

Hi Tom,
Very nice. Really tugs at my heart strings. It’s amazing how music can invoke feelings of happiness and sadness.
Hi Mary,
It’s really true, ain’t it. And I hope it always will be an invoker of such for those that can and will be affected.
Thank you, Mary. Hope the paw heels fast.
