[Intro]
Yeah

[Verse 1]
One night in Louisiana, down by highway eighty four
You could hear a strange dog howling right 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 hand
The boy with jack-hawk 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

[Chorus]
Solid ball of rock
Solid ball of rock
Solid ball of rock crashing out of the sky
It's shakin' all over but he don't know why

[Verse 2]
The devil went to Memphis as he flew into the sun
He howled about redemption with a bible and a gun
The preacher beat his chest and cried, "Set my people free!"
The killer said, "I'll drag you to the gates of hell with me"

[Chorus]
Solid ball of rock
Solid ball of rock
Solid ball of rock crashing out of the sky
It's shakin' all over but he don't know why

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
Solid ball of rock
Solid ball of rock
Solid ball of rock
Solid ball of rock

[Verse 3]
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 to reckon with the chilling hand of death

[Chorus]
Solid ball of rock
Solid ball of rock
Solid ball of rock crashing out of the sky
It's 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
It's shakin' all over but he don't know why
