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 eighteen, 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 firm 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.

Twenty years now, where’d they go

Twenty 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

Like a rock – standin’ arrow straight

Like a rock – chargin’ from the gate

Like a rock – carryin’ the weight

Like a rock.

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,
