stood there boldly sweating in the sun felt like a million felt like number one height of summer 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 nothing ever got to me like a rock boy 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 and i stood tall i was high above it all i still believed in my dreams twenty years now where did they go twenty years i don t know i sit and i wonder sometimes where they ve gone mmm and sometimes when it s late at night oh and i m bathed in the firelight the moon she comes calling a ghostly white and i recall oh i recall like a rock i was standing arrow straight like a rock charging from the gate like a rock i was carrying that weight like a rock oh like a rock with the sun upon my skin like a rock i was hard against the wind and i see myself again like a rock like a rock like a rock
