Like A Rock

Stood there boldly

Sweatin' in the sun

Felt like a million

Felt like number one

The height of summer

I'd never felt that strong

Like a rock

I was 18

Didn't have a care

Workin' for peanuts

Not a dime to spare

But I was lean and

Solid everywhere

Like a rock

My hands were steady

My eyes were clear and bright

My walk had purpose

My steps were quick and light

And I held firmly

To what I felt was right

Like a rock

Like a rock

I was strong as I could be

Like a rock

Nothin' ever got to me

Like a rock

I was something to see

Like a rock

And I stood arrow straight

Unencumbered by the weight

Of all these hustlers and their schemes

I stood proud, I stood tall

High above it all

I still believed in my dreams

20 years now

Where'd they go?

20 years

I don't know

I sit and I wonder sometimes

Where they've gone

And sometimes late at night

Oh, when I'm bathed in the firelight

The moon comes callin' a ghostly white

And I recall

I recall

Like a rock

Standin' arrow straight

Like a rock

Chargin' from the gate

Like a rock

Carryin' the weight

Like a rock

Oh, like a rock

The sun upon my skin

Like a rock

Hard against the wind

Like a rock

I see myself again

Like a rock

Oh, like a rock

Oh, oh
