like a rock

bir bob seger roku

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
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
recall

like a rock. standin' arrow straight
like a rock, chargin' from the gate
like a rock, carryin' the weight
like a rock

lihe a rock, the sun upon my skin
like a rock, hard against the wind
like a rock, i see myself again
like a rock
