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
