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 rockI was eighteen
Didn't have a care
Working for peanuts
Not a dime to spare
But I was lean and
Solid everywhere
Like a rockMy 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 rockLike 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 rockAnd 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 dreamsTwenty years now
Where they go?
Twenty years
I don't know
I sit and I wonder sometimes
Where they've goneAnd sometimes late at night
When I'm bathed in the firelight
The moon comes callin', a ghostly white
And I recall
I recallLike a rock, standin', arrow straight
Like a rock, chargin', from the gate
Like a rock, carryin', the weight
Like a rockLike 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
