shenandoah - (it's hard to live up to) the rock lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
he was the captain of the team in forty-two
a favorite of the fans and the ladies too
i still love the stories about the rock
he fought for his country in normandy
and drove the germans back to germany
captain’s right-hand-man was a rock

[verse 2]
and to me he looked tall as a tree
at times i thought he never noticed me
standing in the shadow of the rock
i tried to make him proud of me
but my mistakes was all he’d see
it always seemed so hard to please the rock

[chorus]
and he’ll never know how hard i try
to be the man i thought that i should be in his eyes
and i gave my all to be strong and stand tall, to be the rock
oh lord, it’s hard to live up to the rock

[verse 3]
he came to visit me the other day
i couldn’t believe how much he’d aged
but in my eyes he’ll always be the rock
he said, “son, ain’t it funny how the years roll by”
as he turned his head, i saw him rub his eyes
i never had felt closer to the rock

[verse 4]
he said, “son, you made my life complete”
the only man i tried to be
i never thought i’d hear from the rock
and i was almost overcome
when he said, “it’s an honor to call you son
and i’m proud to say you’re a chip off the old block”

[chorus]
“and you’ll never know how hard i try
to be the man i thought that i should be in your eyes
and i gave my all to be strong and stand tall
to be your rock

[tag]
oh lord, it’s hard to live up to the rock
oh lord, it’s hard to live up to the rock
