Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band - Like A Rock 

I'm 69, cancer survivor this past year, still doing construction work to make ends meet and help the kids. I sat by my 90 year old Dad's bedside in my house when he died after we had cared for him for five years. I didn't realize what a rock he had been and how much his life had influenced me even though he was old school Navy and I was a '60's hippie and we never saw eye to eye even to the end. We were two rocks, side by side. Thanks, Dad.

I buried my dad today. An 83 year old Command Sergeant Major who did 2 tours in Vietnam. He died a frail, shell of the almost Superhuman I remember as a kid. This song seems to personify him in my mind. I listen to it and think of him. So long dad, I will see you on the other side.

Will be 59 next month, have lost 2 husband's to Cancer and not only kept my house on 5 acres but raised 8 successful kid's here. Like a Rock.

My father, the old Army Master Sergeant, passed away in March 2020 at the age of 89. We saw eye-to-eye on virtually nothing. But he was rock and taught me and my brothers how to be men…how to be accountable, responsible and take of our families. Lessons for life. When I listen to this song, I hear a tribute to the old Master Sergeant.

A true anthem for those of us who survived what life threw at us...

I lost my dad yesterday morning. I held his hand as he took his last breath. When I drove home, this was the first song I listened to as a memorial to him. He stood arrow straight while others around him wavered. Stand proud, stand tall, dad. WDK 1944-2020

I just turned 66 three weeks ago. My hair is grey and thinning and yeah I'm a bit tired and worn. But damnit there was a time when I was like a rock. And I thank God for giving me the opportunity to have at least once be like that.

One of the BEST pieces of music ever written and recorded!

At 58 years old now I know that I'm a shadow of the man I was in my 20s, 30s and 40s and looking back at the things I used to do listening to the song brings a tear to my eye. To the young man out there savor every moment of your strength and your youth because it all fades away too soon.

The older I get the more I love this song 😢❤

Everyone's fantasy about their youth. But one of the great lines in a song; '20 years now, where'd they go, 20 years now I don't know'; that is everyone's truth.

2024 anyone still here for this song?❤

I think Bob Seger might be the most underappreciated singer/songwriter of all time. He's a legend,amazing.

They just don't make music like this anymore.

50 years now where did they go

I love everything he sings. I'm a cancer survivor but when I was going through chemotherapy treatments I was listening to Bob. Thnx for getting me through the hardest time in my life.

Weirdest thing about this song. As a young man in my 20s I remember hearing this and it spoke wisdom to my soul. Now, I'm 58 with grown kids and a grandchild and those words "20 years now, where'd they go, 20 years, I don't know" have almost been doubled and this song speaks to me as an old man.

The older you get the more this song makes sense. If you are young, enjoy that ride while it lasts!!

"It's weird being the same age as old people" 🙂

I'll be 55 my next birthday, August that is. My dad passed away November 27,2020 which is also my mom's birthday. Married in 1966. He got sent off to Chilcathie Ohio, served a sentence of 5 years. Running shine in the hills of Kentucky. However my sister and I were born in Chicago. He wasn't allowed back in the state of Kentucky or Ohio for 5 years. He somehow got us out of Chicago after the 5 years was over moved us Closer to home. He got a job at Queen City Lumber Company in Cincinnati moved on a block and we were on Chambers St . Him and my mom had not only had a home but it was the nicest one on the entire block. Now my brother was born a buckeye but like all of us, we loved it down home as we called it as kids. After 5 years my dad had become the staple of pride for the company. He designed the knives to cut out some of the most beautiful crown molding , and even after all those years I have yet to see picture frames even close to the one's that have been hanging in there home. He had a brand new 1978 Ford F150 and a brand new 1977, Chevy Caprice Classic . We ate stake about every other night. But it was time to get his family back down home. Left Cincy built his own home.paid for it (him and mom) for nearly 30 years and never missed a payment or even late with one 1⃣ payment. I got to hold him in my arms his last week of life and I got to look that man in the eyes and tell him he was my hero and my best friend and I could never ever ask for a better dad. He was the best and I also told him he was the smartest man I had ever knew . And he was. He passed but he has not left his roots. It is amazing I feel his presence everywhere. I'm trying to build my own life in the shadows of a man who is hands down the rock in my life. I love you dad

I'm 72 and still listening to Bob Seger. I have always enjoyed his music and always will. There are no comparable artists these days, unfortunately.

I'm 48 years old and I've dealt with so many trials, tribulations, loss, pain, loneliness, depression and failed in life so many times. Yet, I've picked myself up each time. When I hear this song I think of my mom and my dad. They both lost their battle with cancer. They were brave and solid as a rock. They both faced death and accepted their fate. I recognized how strong they were and that in itself makes my problems look so small.

There are only TWO groups of people in this world. Those who love Bob Seger music (and) Those who never heard his music

71, cancer survivor, lost a kidney to cancer again, heart surgery, and now stage 5 kidney disease. Raised 2 beautiful strong independent young women, helped with 5 grandkids, and now have 5 great grandchildren. They are all my Rocks.....as I hope they think I am theirs!

I'm a US NAVY Female veteran with PTSD. I'm struggling to survive but I'll never surrender to despair. I was a teenager when he released this song. It's an inspiring song the US needs now more than ever!

My mother called me yesterday in tears after listening to this song. Nearly 20 years ago I stood tall and proud with my right hand up swearing an oath to our nation. Some where after that time she watched me fall to my knees weak and crippled by pain from war and lost in the darkness of mental health. Today I have a beautiful son of my own and stood up strong like a rock. The impact songs can have are amazing

Dad was 42 when I was born. He was 49 when my sister came along. He took up jogging so he could stay in good shape.He was tough, almost super human. He was tough on me growing up, and I resented that. I ashamed of the way I used to feel. I know he meant well now. I was 39 when he passed away, that was 21 years ago. He was strong and tough like a rock. He was almost 81 I miss him a lot. I could go on but I won't. You'll realize what you had when you don't.

I am 80 will be 81 next Mon never get tired of Bob Seger's Music .The BEST EVER still GOOD.

I am 67 years old , and now I have cancer. When I listen to this song , I feel great because i remember my youth. Thank you…..

This song reminds me of my husband. We met at 15. He joined the army just before his 17th birthday. We married a week later. “We” served 34 years in the military and HE is still something to see! After 53 years of marriage he still makes my heart beat fast and we are so happy.

22 years old and i still always come to the classics. Nothing can top them and im glad i was raised with this kind of music

My son is still in his mid twenty's. Shared this with him years ago and he was just overwhelmed. Loved it! I wish I could be young with him. He's my best friend and my hero. He's done more and seen more in his short life than I have at 60. Be strong son. Dad loves you.

Well it’s January 1st, 2022, still listening to Bob Seger. I’m 69 and he never gets old to me either. He just like fine wine. He’s aged well. Love me some Seger!!!!!

I love this song. I'm battling alcoholism and kidney disease now at 51. As long as I have air in my lungs, I will keep pushing forward. Thanks for this song Bob. Amen

I’m 61 with heart failure and blood clots I broke my back over 30 years ago and still worked for my family I hope someday they know I did it for them

My favorite Bob Seger song. When this song first came out my mom played it over and over and over again. She use to say “you have to feel the words…..” I was, of course the young kid on the other side of the tracks and didn’t understand what she meant. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤣🤣 you know, just Momma talking nonsense. She was a single mother who raised three kids on her own. We were grown and she was just done, she was sick. She had not been diagnosed yet but she had Pulmonary Fibrosis. I started supporting us when I was just nineteen years old. She died when I was just 31. It’s been twenty years this year. I was at work on the anniversary of her death and this song came on my phone and I broke down and cried when the first line came on “Twenty years where’d they go?…….” And I ugly cried. For a while. It was the first time I had cried like that over my mom in a while. One of those deep, sobbing, can’t catch your breath kind of cries. I guess I needed to cry like that. I was under a lot of stress and my heart was broken at the time. I had just lost my baby brother just over a year earlier to Covid, and my older brother had just been diagnosed with colon cancer, and my dad is in bad shape. My life is a country song. 😂😂 I guess me ugly crying is exactly what I needed at the time. My love of music, and Bob Seger, comes from my Momma. I miss her terrible, some days more than others. Today is one of those days when I miss her more than yesterday. So, I listen to her song. ❤❤❤

Love Bob Seger songs. I am nearly 80 years old and I listen to his music still

I get a lump in my throat and my eyes well up with tears whenever I hear or listen to this great song. I was once a young man, I joined the army, seen combat, got married, had kids, lost good friends, lost family members, etc. Now I'm a broken and old man, twisting the throttle of life and smiling at the memories this song brings. ***EDIT*** October 9th, 2021**** Wow! I love you all! The care and compassion complete strangers has been absolutely mind-blowing! I guess my original comment above may have come across as if I was at he end of my rope, road and life, and only now I see how easily that post I made raised concern amongst some of you. Sorry if it came across as depressing, but I never intended it to be that way. I guess I got caught up in the moment of strolling through memories. You guys/gals/people rock! \m/ This is the caliber of people Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band creates!

I am 84 and I have been a fan of this awesome man since I was in my 30s. I still listen to him and he still makes my heart sing. Truly a poet and a true musician.

I lost my little brother back in 2014. This song is definitely part of the soundtrack of life I had to help me get through that time. Peace, Love and Happiness to all of you ✌️🫶

If you're a certain age this will bring tears to your eyes.

Truly an incredible song. Hits hard, but will only hit harder the older I get.

I listened to this all through my cancer treatments and still do ,I had a 15 % chance of survival ,but this song got me through it

This song touches a place deep in our souls. ...of desired actions and intentions and a desperate search for meaning in this world. Brings a tear to my eye every time! Thanks Bob, love your music!

This song still gives me the chills after 36 years. I was in my 20s when it came out and i wondered how it would be to be 'old'. Now that i'm 58 i appreciate it more than ever...

My grandfather just passed away today!! Left me this song said to listen when he dies!! Your my rock papa! RIP WENDELL JOE COMSTOCK

My dad was like a rock, he was a survivalist. He amazed me with his will power. My dad was a man I can't forget. I love you Dad ! 😊

My ex husband who was abusive loved Bob Seger and it was one of the best parts of our relationship, He passed away 11 years ago and I listen to this music and remember the good times... Forgiveness is a great thing...

Summer of ‘86; I was 15 years old; first girlfriend; first part-time job; first beer; one of the greatest summers of my life. Felt like I could conquer the world after listening to this one (still do); definitely one for the ages.

I remember this song in the hospital when cancer came back the third time. Chemotherapy didn't work, R.I.C.E treatment didn't work , Stem cell transplant didn't work, or radiation didn't work. That's when I realized sometimes you have to be a rock and just take it. Yes I lost my 30s to the disease but its the little children that my prayers go out to. Make no mistake those are the strongest people you will ever meet physically and mentally.

Just for laugh but if you are my age (68) you will get it. I have a hankering to go by myself an old Chevy pickup when I listen to this timeless song that sings to all through the ages.

I am 85 now and his voice and lyrics literally bring tears to my eyes(as I type these comments) his .I feel a stab in my chest listening to him. Experiences of a life are encapsulated in his words and unique one of a kind voice. I know he is gone as is my youth. But with his songs it was a pretty good ride. Night moves,like a rock,against the wind , as an old biker "roll me away" against the wind L P

Me and my friends, lived most of our teenage years during the 80's, here, in the mountains of southern West Virginia, and we were like rocks, hair down to our shoulder's, steel in our eyes. Took no crap from anyone, your buddies always had your back, did'nt have to ask. Now, in 2020, I'm 55, half bald, don't see so well and short a few good buddies, who have went on to the other side. I tear up listening to this song, it takes me back for a little while, to a time when we thought we wre going to live forever, and acted like it. Sweet times and fond memories. Be excellent to each other people, we are all we got. Later.

I saw Bob in 1986 at the Spectrum in Philly with my oldest daughter Katie for her 7th birthday. We lost her on Mother's Day 1999 when I eulogized her life it was about she was my rock. That 7th birthday seeing Bob together was the most special night of my life. Thank you Bob.

I turned 70 this year. I remember listening to him in high school. Love him now as much as much as I did then This song is one of many favorites

I played this song at my dad's funeral. Of course, everyone judged me for not playing I guess gospel but this was my dad's favorite song .I can still hear him singing every word. It describes him perfect!

I'm 73 and "Like a Rock" still resonates with me

They played this song at my great uncles funeral, couldn't have have picked a better song to describe a man. Bob Seger is a legend and will never be forgotten!

This song was used very effectively in 2004 in a Chevy Suburban commercial when I bought mine. 20 years later, it's still with me and probably will be my last car. It's been like a rock.

Bob is truly a legion in his own time. Have listened to and will continue to listen to for as long as I live. I am near 70, he inspires we to keep feeling young. When I get down and out I turn his music own, beats hell out of medication

This is the perfect example of a song I didn’t understand when I was young.....I’m 48 and I know now.... and it brings a tear to my eye.

50 years where they go 50 years I don’t know!

Love him so much. Always draws me into his songs. Great story teller.

5/6/2024... Happy birthday Mr.Seger..🎂.🎈.🎊-Like a-🪨-Still Jamming!.🎼..🌄..

Bob Seger at 20, 40 or 70 years old STILL outperforms most acts today!! LOVE YOU BOB! Thanks for being the soundtrack to my life!

Is it just me? You hear a song you love...you haven't heard it in decades...yet, you find yourself singing along, remembering every word and inflection.

This song instantly transports me back to 1968, the year of my high school graduation and 18th birthday. It perfectly captures what was quite possibly the best year of my life. Thank you, Bob Seger for your songwriting masterpiece.

When I listened to Like a Rock when I was young, I thought it was a silly tune. Now that I have aged 40 or so years, this song hits hard and true. Like a Rock has become one of my favorite and cherished classic rock songs. What a story of how a man ages and experiences life. Bob Seger deserves great accolades for Like a Rock! Thank you Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band.

I'm 38 and I have no clue where the past 20 years of my life went. This song makes me think about that.

For those of us of a certain age, this is the song we wish we would have / could have written. Thank you, Bob, for everything, and most especially making all of us remember what it felt like to feel like a rock.

I’m 69 just found out 6 months ago I got Alzheimer’s they say early stage but l feel I’m slowly slipping away tried the leqembi it’s made me sick but I know the LORD VERY WELL, I’ll be in his arms one day and I’ll stand tall and strong again like a rock l’ve learned is to die in CHRIST is to gain! I’m ok no tears for me cause I’m ready go home…. Will soon see

My grandmother had this song written on her suicide note, it is now really moving and important to me everytime I listen to it...

I'm 81 and remember my younger years. This brings back a lot of memories. I thought I'd never get old but I know I don't have many years left.

My husband and I got married when I was18(and pregnant) and he was20. We had the most amazing marriage until cancer took him from me 13 yrs ago. This song always brings to tears because it reminds me of our many wonderful years together when we both were healthy and enjoyed life. I have not remarried. But whenever I hear this song I feel as if Bob wrote this for and about my husband. The lyrics describe my husband so closely it's uncanny. He had the looks of ZZTop and the meanest looking biker-types would make room for us to pass when they saw us coming but he was a real teddy bear unless you would mess with his family. (No one ever did,lol). I will never find another like him: a real man's man yet one who babies would call Santa Claus, much to the dismay of the parents. When I had a memorial for him one year after his death, men he hadn't worked with for 30 years came to pay their respects and to let me know he was the only white boy who could play real basketball in Indiana. Thank you Bob for making a song that is so emotionally close to the best years of my life. I know I will see him again. I still dream about him every night after all these years!!

I'm 73 years old and I still love your music 🎶 🎵 and I will always love ❤listening to you 😊

Whether you like chevy trucks or not, when like a rock was chevys theme song... best chevy commercials ever! Still love this song, & chevys!

This is a great song , I remember thinking I was going to be 30 years old forever,well That was 30 years ago, It seems like it takes forever to grow up but no time to grow old

Long, long after Taylor Swift, Beiber, Beyonce and countless others there will still be BOB SEGER standing tall. Like a rock! Rest well Alto Reed.🕇

He’s so super; had no idea this song would become pop for Chevy Trucks. 👍

Your father should teach you , my father taught me to drive. God Bless my Father.

At this time in the world we need way more people who are “like a rock”.

Seven years battling cancer, recovering from surgery.....I needed to hear this again tonight fighting off the pain! Rejoice oh young man in thy youth.

This Song tells the Story of my Life !! Stand Strong to your beliefs and core values and thru the curves and bumps in the road Carry On and Do What You Believe is Right !! Like a Rock !!!

33 here and this song is amazing! I thank my dad for my "old soul" taste in music. I remember him playing this and aerosmith and pink floyd non stop 🤘🤘

I grew up hearing this song in Chevy commercials. Never actually listened to the whole thing, but what a jam. Rock and Gravel.

This song is like an anthem for every man in America.

This tune is so gloriously beautiful it makes me wanna pray!

Does anyone remember when music was real andfelt in every fiber of your soul?

There was a time when these words and feelings is what it felt like to be an American. Proud, hard working and steadfast and united as a country. Not perfect, far from it. But working together to be better and stronger. Evil people divide us with false news for their agenda. Be Americans people! Not puppets. See through them and build with each other on a local level. One on one. Not the false headline stories Stand arrow straight, stand tall. Be an American be it black, yellow , brown or white.

A few years ago I attended the funeral of a veteran police officer slain in the line of duty. A young lady from his family sang this haunting song and, at the end, added an extra verse in honor of the departed. There wasn't a dry eye to be seen. This was the additional stanza. "Each time I pinned my badge on, This mantra I would say: 'If life offers you battle, don't ever run away. When the Devil stalks the righteous, You stand fast in his way, Like a rock.' Like a rock." May the Lord watch over and protect the men and women of that Thin Blue Line who daily risk all to watch over us.

I still live the old days thru my memories and my old f 100 and my old Harley. Thank you Bob. This song will be played at my wake. Not celebration of life, wake.

Now I say 40 years, where did the 80s. Best days of my life.

2020 who's still listening I'm 64 it never gets old great time

i'm a 12 year old girl and i absolutely love Bob Seger and listen to his songs almost everyday my dad always says i have an old soul and i guess i do Edit: I would like to say thank you for all the sweet comments! I’ve never felt this special ☺️

The slide guitar work on this song is just incredible.

Love Bob Segar this Music never gets old lets go back to the 80's Please

This man was an old soul in his youth and ahead of his time...still timeless.

Most of us have seen our fathers as this imposing figure who embodied all the traits Bob S sings about. Many of us have said our last good byes to that father who still resides in our memories. Injuries and sickness took their toll. Now it is our turn to move from autumn into the winter season. Thank you to Bob and the Silver Bullet Band for the many years of music that spoke to our hearts and souls.

Great song and video. Bob Seger and The Silver Bullet Band are awesome. I like this freight train with a caboose at the end in the video. 😊

You dont understand your old man till he gone😢😢
