|
One night in Louisiana |
|
Down by Highway 84 |
|
You can hear a strange dog calling |
|
Outside his mama's door |
|
The baby was a killer |
|
The cousin was a priest |
|
The baby upped and said |
|
I play the music of the beast |
|
The Devil in Concordia |
|
Looked down and waved his hands |
|
The boy with jack-hawk eyes |
|
Became the leader of the band |
|
The connoseur of rhythm |
|
Rock and roll and 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 |
|
Shakin' all over |
|
But he don't know why |
|
The Devil went to Memphis |
|
As he flew into the sun |
|
Howled about redemption |
|
With a Bible and a gun |
|
The preacher beat his chest |
|
And cried, "Set my people free" |
|
The killer said, "I drag you |
|
To the gates of hell with me |
|
Solid ball of rock |
|
Solid ball of rock |
|
Solid ball of rock |
|
Crashing out of the sky |
|
Shakin' all over |
|
But he don't know why |
|
Solid ball of rock |
|
Solid ball of rock |
|
Solid ball of rock |
|
Solid ball of rock |
|
The killer, he was born again |
|
He saw the gates of hell |
|
The preacher found redemption |
|
In a Jacksonville motel |
|
The Devil take the hindmost |
|
They're running out of breath |
|
They're gonna have a reckon |
|
With the chilling hand of death |
|
Solid ball of rock |
|
Solid ball of rock |
|
Solid ball of rock |
|
Crashing out of the sky |
|
Shakin' 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 |
|
Shakin' all over |
|
But he don't know why |
