Lyrics

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.
