like a rock

Lyrics

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
