Like a Rock

Stood there boldly,

(Ab)sweatin' in the sun.

(Db)Felt like a million,

felt like number one.

(Gb)The height of summer,

I'd (Db)never felt that strong,

like a (Ab)rock.

(Ab)I was eighteen,

didn't have a care.

(Db)Workin' for peanuts,

not a dime to spare,

(Gb)but I was lean and (Db)solid ev'rywhere,

like a (Ab)rock.

My hands were steady,

My eyes were clear and bright.

(Db)My walk had purpose,

my steps were quick and light,

(Gb)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,

nothin' ever got to me;

like a (Gb)rock,

I was (Db)somethin' to see,

like a (Ab)rock.

And I (Fm)stood arrow straight unencumbered by the weight of all these (Ab)hustlers and their schemes;

I stood proud, I stood tall,

high above it all.

I (Bbm7)still believed in my dreams.

(Ab)call. I recall

like a rock,

the standin' arrow straight like a (Db)rock,

chargin' from the gate like a (Gb)rock,

I (Db)carryin' the weight like a (Ab)rock.

Oh, like a rock,

the sun upon my skin like a (Db)rock,

hard against the wind like a (Gb)rock,

I (Db)see myself again like a (Ab)rock.

Oh, like a rock.
