Stood there boldly, sweatin' in the SunFelt like a million, felt like number oneThe height of summer, I'd never felt that strongLike a rock
I was 18, didn't have a careWorking for peanuts, not a dime to spareBut I was lean and solid everywhereLike a rock
My hands were steady, my eyes were clear and brightMy walk had purpose, my steps were quick and lightAnd I held firmly to 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 weight of all these hustlers and their schemesI stood proud, I stood tallHigh above it allI still believed in my dreams
20 years now, where'd they go?20 years, I don't knowI sit and I wonder sometimesWhere they've gone
And sometimes late at nightOh, when I'm bathed in the firelightThe moon comes callin' a ghostly whiteAnd I recall, I recall
Like a rock, standin' arrow straightLike a rock, chargin' from the gateLike a rock, carryin' the weightLike a rock
Oh, like a rock, the sun upon my skinLike a rock, hard against the windLike a rock, I see myself againLike a rockOh, like a rock
