Lyrics:

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.


Oh, 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.

Oh....
