Lyrics for Song: (It's Hard to Live Up To) The Rock
Lyrics for Album: Super Hits [1996]
He was the captain of the team in forty-two
A favorite of the fans and the ladies too
I still love the 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 looked tall as a tree
At times I thought he never noticed 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 should 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 visit me the other day
I couldn't believe how much he'd aged
But in my eyes he'll alway 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 should 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.
