Like a rock
Stood there boldlySweatin’ in the sunFelt like a millionFelt like number oneThe height of summerI’d never felt that strongLike a rock
I was eighteenDidn’t have a careWorking for peanutsNot a dime to spareBut I was lean andSolid everywhereLike a rock
My hands were steadyMy eyes were clear and brightMy walk had purposeMy steps were quick and lightAnd I held firmlyTo what I felt was rightLike a rock
Like a rock, I was strong as I could beLike a rock, nothin’ ever got to meLike a rock, I was something to seeLike a rock
And I stood arrow straightUnencumbered by the weightOf all these hustlers and their schemesI stood proud, I stood tallHigh above it allI still believed in my dreams
Twenty years nowWhere they've go?Twenty yearsI don’t knowSit and I wonder sometimesWhere they’ve gone
And sometimes late at nightWhen I’m bathed in the firelightThe moon comes callin’ a ghostly whiteAnd I recallRecall
Like a rock. standin’ arrow straightLike a rock, chargin’ from the gateLike a rock, carryin’ the weightLike a rock
Lihe a rock, the sun upon my skinLike a rock, hard against the windLike a rock, I see myself againLike a rock
