Like A Rock
JENNIFER NETTLES · That Girl 2014 · Track 11 of 13
Stood there boldly Sweatin' in the sun Felt like a million Felt like number one The height of 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 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, boy, 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 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
And sometimes when it's late at night And I'm bathed in the firelight The moon she comes callin' a ghostly white And I recall Oh, I recall
Like a rock, I was standin' arrow straight Like a rock, chargin' from the gate Like a rock, I was carryin' the weight Like a rock
Like a rock, with the 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
