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!

Wild World - Cat 'Yusuf' Stevens

1970 - From 'Tea For The Tillerman' Album

Now that I've lost everything to you

You say you wanna' start something new

And it's breakin' my heart you're leavin'

Baby, I'm grievin'

But, if you leave take good care

Hope you have a lot of nice things to wear

But, then a lot of nice things turn bad.....Out there

[Chorus]

Oh, Baby, Baby, it's a Wild World

It's hard to get by just upon a smile, Girl

Oh, Baby, Baby, it's a Wild World

I'll always remember you like a child, Girl

Baby, I love you

But, if you wanna' leave take good care

Hope you make a lot of nice Friends out there

But, just remember there's a lot of bad and Beware

[Chorus]

You know I've seen a lot of what the world can do

And it's breakin' my heart in two

Because I never wanna see you sad, Girl

Don't be a bad girl

Eat a Peach while driving South

Almost taste the rum in your mouth

Headed on the way to Out of Reach

To plop ourselves right on a Beach

(Chorus)

Oh, we’ll watch the Sun

Rise and Set

It’s not over......over yet

Yeah, It’s far from over yet

Life’s a Treat

When there’s Heat....

Sure beats Livin’....

....on some Cold Street!

Work’s all done

....and, we’re having Fun

Lazy days out in the Sun

No more time for ‘On the Run'

We’ll find a place

And make a space

Just feel those rays upon your face

Oh, Man, how we love this pace

The drinks are cold, and......

The Smokes are rolled

Oh, Lord, won’t ya’ soothe (save) my soul? ......

What a way to grow Old

What a way to grow Old

(Back to Chorus and Out)

My AcoustaTronic abbreviated take on another Dylan Classic Tune. I only included Verses 1-5, because like so many Dylan songs, the Original was quite lengthy. Featured on Dylan's masterful 'Blood On The Tracks' Album - 1975. Written during a creative period of his separation and divorce from first wife, Sara. The title may have been taken from a lyric in Creedence Clearwater Revival’s seminal 1970 hit, “Who’ll Stop The Rain.”

Shelter From The Storm

Original Song and Lyrics - Bob Dylan

'Twas in another lifetime, one of toil and blood

When blackness was a virtue the road was full of mud

I came in from the wilderness, a creature void of form

Come in, she said

I'll give ya shelter from the storm

And if I pass this way again, you can rest assured

I'll always do my best for her, on that I give my word

In a world of steel-eyed death, and men who are fighting to be warm

Come in, she said

I'll give ya shelter from the storm

Not a word was spoke between us, there was little risk involved

Everything up to that point had been left unresolved

Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm

Come in, she said

I'll give ya shelter from the storm

I was burned out from exhaustion, buried in the hail

Poisoned in the bushes an' blown out on the trail

Hunted like a crocodile, ravaged in the corn

Come in, she said

I'll give ya shelter from the storm

Suddenly I turned around and she was standin' there

With silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hair

She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns

Come in, she said

I'll give ya shelter from the storm

Now there's a wall between us, somethin' there's been lost

I took too much for granted, I got my signals crossed

Just to think that it all began on an uneventful morn

Come in, she said

I'll give ya shelter from the storm

Well, the deputy walks on hard nails and the preacher rides a mount

But nothing really matters much, it's doom alone that counts

And the one-eyed undertaker, he blows a futile horn

Come in, she said

I'll give ya shelter from the storm

I've heard newborn babies wailin' like a mournin' dove

And old men with broken teeth stranded without love

Do I understand your question, man, is it hopeless and forlorn

Come in, she said

I'll give ya shelter from the storm

In a little hilltop village, they gambled for my clothes

I bargained for salvation and she gave me a lethal dose

I offered up my innocence I got repaid with scorn

Come in, she said

I'll give ya shelter from the storm

Well, I'm livin' in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line

Beauty walks a razor's edge, someday I'll make it mine

If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born

Come in, she said

I'll give ya shelter from the storm

AcoustaTronic Version of a Cat Classic Fav of Mine from way back.

Miles From Nowhere

Cat Stevens (Original)

Miles from nowhere

Guess I'll take my time

Oh yeah, to reach there

Look up at the mountain

I have to climb

Oh yeah, to reach there

Lord, my body has been a good friend

But I won't need it when I reach the end

Miles from nowhere

I guess I'll take my time

Oh yeah, to reach there

I creep through the valleys

And I grope through the woods

'Cause I know when I find it, my honey

It's gonna make me feel good

I love everything

So don't it make you feel sad

'Cause I'll drink to you, my baby

I'll think to that, yes, I'll think to that

Miles from nowhere

Not a soul in sight

Oh yeah, but it's alright

I have my freedom

I can make my own rules

Oh yes, the ones that I choose

Miles From Nowhere lyrics © Salafa Limited, Salafa Ltd

Lesser known tune, 4 + 20 was the 8th track bundled on the popular Deja' Vu album - 1970 from "CSN and Sometimes Y". Always loved and just attempted to respectfully sketch in AcoustaTronic and adapt to my own style.

4 + 20

(Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - 1970)

Four and twenty years ago I come into this life

The son of a woman and a man who lived in strife

He was tired of being poor

And he wasn't into selling door to door

And he worked like the devil to be more

A different kind of poverty now upsets me so

Night after sleepless night, I walk the floor and I want to know

Why am I so alone?

Where is my woman, can I bring her home?

Have I driven her away? Is she gone?

Morning comes the sunrise and I'm driven to my bed

I see that it is empty and there's devils in my head

I embrace the many colored beast

I grow weary of the torment, can there be no peace?

And I find myself just wishing that my life would simply cease

My own derivative AcoustaTronic version of a Gatlin Brothers creative interpretative of a Trad Gospel tune predicated upon the story of The Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11-32).

Prodigal Son

(Referencing The Gatlin Brothers-Gaither 'Come Home' Version - 1997)

There was a young man who had the best of everything

(Oh Yeah) He was the first born of a wealthy man

But he was not satisfied with the best of everything

So he took his possessions in his hand

He traveled far and wide and he tasted worldly pleasure

Deep inside he was lonely without measure

And he wound up in a pig pen when he was nearly left for dead

Then he raised his eyes toward Heaven as he said

(Chorus)

I will arise and I will go back to my Father's house

I will beg him to forgive me for the fool that I've been

I will arise and I will go back to my Father's house

I will gladly be a servant if he'll take me back again?

I was a young man who had the best of everything

I was the first born of a hard-working man

But I was not satisfied with the best of everything

So I took my possessions in my hand

I traveled far and wide and I tasted worldly pleasure

Deep inside I was lonely without measure

Wound up in California where I nearly died

Then I raised my eyes toward Heaven as I cried

(Repeat Chorus)
