About Like A Rock

In a 1986 interview with Creem magazine,Seger said: "It's a matter of growing up. From the time I was 20 until I was 30, I didn't sell a whole lot of records, but I was doing a lot of rock 'n' roll. That's the way I felt at the time. Maybe during the period when I was 30 to 40, I was getting more mature, writing about older themes. I'm sure 'Like A Rock' doesn't mean much to someone who's 20, but I gotta write what I know about." (Source Like A Rock Songfacts). .

Like A Rock Lyrics

[00:13.10] Stood there boldly
[00:15.52] Sweatin' in the sun
[00:18.62] Felt like a million
[00:21.25] Felt like number one
[00:24.82] The height of summer
[00:26.86] I'd never felt that strong
[00:29.40] Like a rock
[00:37.29] I was eighteen
[00:39.25] Didn't have a care
[00:42.58] Working for peanuts
[00:44.69] Not a dime to spare
[00:48.65] But I was lean and
[00:50.94] Solid everywhere
[00:53.44] Like a rock
[01:00.54] My hands were steady
[01:02.84] My eyes were clear and bright
[01:06.48] My walk had purpose
[01:08.74] My steps were quick and light
[01:12.21] And I held firmly
[01:14.37] To what, I felt, was right
[01:16.92] Like a rock
[01:22.72] Like a rock, I was strong as I could be
[01:28.74] Like a rock, nothin' ever got to me
[01:34.66] Like a rock, I was something to see
[01:40.47] Like a rock
[01:46.69] And I stood arrow straight
[01:49.58] Unencumbered by the weight
[01:51.62] Of all these hustlers and their schemes
[01:57.62] I stood proud, I stood tall
[02:01.48] High above it all
[02:04.18] I still believed in my dreams
[02:07.85]
[03:09.60] Twenty years now
[03:11.90] Where'd they go?
[03:15.36] Twenty years
[03:17.63] I don't know
[03:21.16] I sit and I wonder sometimes
[03:25.52] Where they've gone
[03:33.95] And sometimes late at night
[03:38.75] Oh, when I'm bathed in the firelight
[03:44.38] The moon comes callin', a ghostly white
[03:49.17] And I recall
[03:51.86] I recall
[03:54.57] Like a rock, standin' arrow straight
[04:00.36] Like a rock, chargin' from the gate
[04:06.12] Like a rock, carryin' the weight
[04:11.81] Like a rock
[04:17.06] Oh, like a rock, the sun upon my skin
[04:23.24] Like a rock, hard against the wind
[04:28.98] Like a rock, I see myself again
[04:34.65] Like a rock
[04:37.09] Oh, like a rock
[04:38.93]
