Like A Rock

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

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
