Bob Seger - Like a Rock

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

I 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

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. This is America. 20 years. I hope we have that much time.

ITS SOMEthing missing in popular music nowadays the recuring themes an artist expresses. This isnt a lot different than Night Moves, or so many other of his songs. Its him reflecting on his past. more than nostalgia just something deep from inside.

The Weather Man was great!
