Like A Rock Songtext
von 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
I sit and I wonder sometimes
Where they′ve gone


And sometimes late at night
Oh, when I'm bathed in the firelight
The moon comes callin′, a ghostly white
And I recall
I recall

Like a rock, standin' arrow straight
Like a rock, chargin′ from the gate
Like a rock, carryin' the weight
Like a rock

Oh, like a rock, the sun upon my skin
Like a rock, hard against the wind
Like a rock, I see myself again
Like a rock
Oh, like a rock
