Like a Rock

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

working 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

twenty years now

where'd they go

twenty years

i don't know

sit and i wonder sometimes

where they've gone

and sometimes late at night

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

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
