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
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
I 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,
and 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
