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

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,

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
