Like A Rock

Stood there boldly
Sweating in the sun
Felt like a million
Felt like number one
Height of summer
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
Nothing ever got to me
Like a rock
Boy, 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 and I stood tall
I was high above it all
I still believed in my dreams.

Twenty years now
Where did they go?
Twenty years
I don't know
I sit and I wonder sometimes
Where they've gone.

Mmm, and sometimes when it's late at night
Oh, and I'm bathed in the firelight
The moon she comes calling, a ghostly white
And I recall
Oh, I recall.

Like a rock
I was standing arrow straight
Like a rock
Charging from the gate
Like a rock
I was carrying that weight
Like a rock.

Oh, like a rock
With the sun upon my skin
Like a rock
I was hard against the wind
And I see myself again
Like a rock
Like a rock
Like a rock.
