Rock of Life Rick Springfield "Rock of Life" 1988 Well I pick up my guitar (To look) I look in the mirror It's like a stranger in my hand (Baby is cryin') There comes a time when a boy must leave (Get up) And the man has to enter For the soul to understand (All of the changes) As if it ain't hard enough This life I'm livin' in I was caught with my guard down When the world came knockin' I feel a big beat The rock of life Big beat talk to me Hey Whooh I feel a back beat The rock of life Wakin' up blind with the house on fire Is it somethin' in my head (Look up) Or the time or the season Or the little boy in my head (Must be a reason) There's new meaning in my life (Shake up) But there's pain and confusion And I'm tryin' to understand (All of the changes) I've been cut so deep but I can't make it bleed I was caught with my head in the sand When the world came knockin' I feel a big beat The rock of life Big beat talk to me Hey Whooh I feel a back beat The rock of life Wakin' up blind with the house on fire It ain't no perfect life (By far) This world I'm livin' in But I was caught with my guard down When the world came knockin' I feel a big beat The rock of life Big beat talk to me Hey Whooh I feel a back beat The rock of life Wakin' up blind with the house on fire I feel a big beat The rock of life Big beat talk to me Hey Whooh I feel a back beat The rock of life Wakin' up blind with the house on fire From: "Jonathan & Dawn Garrison"
