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 play upped and said I play the music of the beast

The devil in concordia looked down and waved his hand
The Boy with jack hawked Eyes became the leader of the band
The connoisseur of rhythm, rock 'n' 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
It's shaking all over but he don't know why

The devil went to Memphis as he came into the sun
howled about redemption with a battle and a gun
the Preacher beat his chest and cried: set my people free

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 (3x)

The killer he was born again and saw gates of hell
The preacher found redemtion in a Jacksonville motel
The devil took the hindmost, they're running out of breath
They're gonna have to 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
