LIKE A ROCK
(Words and Music by Bob Seger)


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
