jennifer nettles - like a rock lyrics

Loading...

stood there rolling, sweating in the sun.
felt like a million, felt like number one.
had a summer, 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, solid everywhere, like a rock.

my hands were steady and my eyes were clear and bright.
my walk had purpose, my steps were quick and light.
and i held firm no matter what i felt was right, like a rock.

like a rock, i was strong as i could be.
like a rock, nothing ever got to me.
like a rock, boy i was something to see.
like a rock.

and i stood arrow straight, unenc-mbered by the weight of all these hustlers and their schemes.
i stood proud and i stood tall.
i was high above it all.
i still believed in my dreams.

twenty years now, where did they go?
twenty years, i don’t know.
i sit and i wonder sometimes where they’ve gone.
sometimes when it’s late at night, oh
and i’m bathed in the firelight, oh she comes calling,
the ghost in white.

and i recall her, oh i recall. like a rock,
i was standing there all straight.
like a rock, just in front of the gates.
like a rock, i was carrying that weight.
like a rock. like a rock with a sun upon my skin.
like a rock, i was hard against the wind.
and i see myself again, like a rock.
like a rock. like a rock.
