Stood there boldly
Sweatin' in the sun I was eighteen My hands were steady Like a rock, And I stood arrow straight Twenty years now And sometimes late at night Like a rock. Like a rock,
Felt like a million
Felt like number one
The height of summer
I'd never felt that strong
Like a rock
Didn't have a care
Working for peanuts
Not a dime to spare
But I was lean and
Solid everywhere
Like a rock
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
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
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
Where'd they go?
twenty years
I don't know
sit and I wonder sometimes
Where they've gone
When I'm bathed in the firelight
The moon comes callin' a ghostly white
And I recall
standin' arrow straight
Like a rock,
chargin' from the gate
Like a rock,
carryin' the weight
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
