Like A Rock - Version by Riff Beach published on 2022-08-06T18:18:17Z Bob Seger once told the New York Times that "Like A Rock was inspired partly by the end of a relationship that had lasted for 11 years. You wonder where all that time went? But beyond that, it expresses my feeling that the best years of my life may have been in my late teens with no special commitments and no career". This iconic tune was used in an advertising campaign for Chevrolet trucks that ran from 1991 - 2004, making it indelibly associated with the vehicles. The song helped sell a lot of Silverados, and is considered one of the best choices for an ad campaign in The History of Music. 'Like a Rock' was the Title song from the thirteenth studio album of same name by American singer-songwriter Bob Seger, released in 1986. My own version humbly presented here with all due respect and appreciation for yet another Bob Seger Sparkly Gem. Did it in my own way, featuring Nylon Strings and Tele Tones floating around in the background. "Like A Rock" Bog Seger 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 I sit and I wonder sometimes Where they've gone And sometimes late at night Oh, 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 Like a rock The sun upon my skin Like a rock Hard against the wind Like a rock I see myself again Like a rock Oh, like a rock!

Seger can be too easily taken for granted, but he wrote many wonderful songs and was a passionate performer. Nice to hear this acoustic interpretation that projects the feeling so well.
