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
