The Rock (it's Hard To Live Up To) Lyrics - Shenandoah

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"
