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
