Rick Springfield - Rock Of Life lyrics

Big beat talk to me<br>Waking up blind with the house on fire<br><br>Well I pick up my guitar, (I tune up)<br>I look in the mirror<br>It's like a stranger in my hand (the baby is crying)<br>There comes a time when the boy must leave (get up)<br>And the man has to enter<br>For the soul to understand (all of the changes)<br>As if it ain't hard enough this life I'm living in<br>I was caught with my guard down<br>When the world came knocking<br><br>I feel the big beat, the rock of life<br>Big beat talk to me<br>I feel the back beat, the rock of life<br>Waking up blind with the house on fire<br><br>Is it something in my head (look up)<br>Or the time of season<br>Or the little boy in my hands (must be a reason)<br>Yeah, there's new meaning in my life (a shake-up)<br>But there's pain and confusion<br>And I'm trying to understand (all of the changes)<br>I've been cut so deep but I can't make it bleed<br>I was caught with my head in the sand<br>When the world came knocking<br><br>I feel the big beat, the rock of life<br>Big beat talk to me<br>I feel the back beat, the rock of life<br><br>It ain't no perfect life<br>This one I'm living in<br>And I was caught with my guard down<br>When the world came knocking<br><br>I feel the big beat, the rock of life<br>Big beat talk to me<br>I feel the back beat, the rock of life
