Stood there boldly

Sweatin' in the sun

Felt like a million

Felt like number one

The 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, nothin' 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

And sometimes when it's late at night

And I'm bathed in the firelight

The moon she comes callin' a ghostly white

And I recall

Oh, I recall

Like a rock, I was standin' arrow straight

Like a rock, chargin' from the gate

Like a rock, I was carryin' the weight

Like a rock

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
