Solid Ball of Rock

One night in Louisiana down by highway eighty four You could hear a strange dog howling right outside his mamma's door The baby was a killer,the cousin was a priest The baby upped & said,I play the music of the beast The devil in concordia looked down & waved his hand The boy with jackhawk eyes became the leader of the band The connoisseur of rhythm,rock 'n' roll & swing But when it comes to boogie you know that he's the king Solid ball of rock Solid ball of rock Solid ball of rock crashing out of the sky It's shaking all over but he don't know why The devil went to Memphis as he flew into the sun He howled about redemption with a bible & a gun The preacher beat his chest & cried, "set my people free" The killer said "I'll drag ya to the gates of hell with me" Solid ball of rock Solid ball of rock Solid ball of rock crashing out of the sky It's shaking all over but he don't know why Solid ball of rock Solid ball of rock Solid ball of rock The killer he was born again & saw the gates of hell The preacher found redemption in a Jacksonville motel The devil takes the hindmost they're running out of breath They're gonna have to reckon with the chilling hand of death Solid ball of rock Solid ball of rock Solid ball of rock crashing out of the sky It's shaking all over but he don't know why Solid ball of rock Solid ball of rock Solid ball of rock crashing out of the sky It's shaking all over but he don't know why
