He was the captain of a team in forty two |
|
A favorite of the fans and the ladies too |
|
I still love those stories about the rock |
|
He fought for his country in Normandy |
|
And drove the Germans back to Germany |
|
Captains right hand man was a rock |
|
And to me he look tall as a tree |
|
At times I though he'd never notice me |
|
Standing in the shadow of the rock |
|
I try to make him proud of me |
|
But my mistakes was all he'd see |
|
It always seems so hard to please the rock |
|
And he'll never know how hard I try |
|
Be the man I thought that I shouldn't 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 |
|
He came to visited 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 |
|
He said, "Son, you made my life complete" |
|
The only man I try to be |
|
I never thought I'd hear from the rock |
|
And I was almost home, he comforted me |
|
He said, "It's an honor to call you, son" |
|
And I'm proud to say, "You're a chip off the old block" |
|
And you'll never know how hard I try |
|
To be the man I thought that I shouldn't be in your eyes |
|
And I gave my all to be strong and stand tall and be your rock |
|
Oh Lord, it's hard to live up to the rock |
|
Oh Lord, it's hard to live up to the rock |
