Stood there bold ly, sweat in’ in the sun.
Felt like a mil lion, felt like num ber one.
The height of sum mer, I’d (Db)nev er felt that strong, like a (Ab)rock.
I was eight een, did n’t have a care.
Work in’ for pea nuts, not a dime to spare,
but I was lean and (Db)sol id ev ’ry where, like a (Ab)rock.
My hands were stead y, My eyes were clear and bright.
My walk had pur pose, my steps were quick and light,
and I held firm to (Db)what I felt was right, like a (Ab)rock.
Like a rock,
I was strong as I could be; like a (Db)rock,
noth in’ ev er got to me; like a (Gb)rock,
I was (Db)some thin’ to see, like a (Ab)rock.
And I (Fm)stood ar row straight un en cum bered by the weight of all these (Ab)hus tlers and their schemes;
I stood proud, I stood tall, high a bove it all.
I (Bbm7)still be lieved in my dreams.
(Ab)call.
I re call
like a (Ab)rock,
the stand in’ ar row straight like a (Db)rock,
charg in’ from the gate like a rock,
I (Db)car ry in’ the weight like a (Ab)rock.
Oh, like a (Ab)rock,
the sun up on my skin like a (Db)rock,
hard a gainst the wind like a rock,
I (Db)see my self a gain like a (Ab)rock.
Oh, like a (Ab)rock.
