Shenandoah - (It's Hard To Live Up To) The Rock lyrics
Your rating:
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
