Rock Of Life (Edited Version)

Rock Of Life (Edited Version) - Rick Springfield

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

But 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

Whoa

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
