One night in |
|
LouisianaDown 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 |
|
ConcordiaLooked 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 |
|
MemphisAs 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 youTo the gates of hell with meSolid ball of rockSolid ball of rockSolid ball of rockCrashing out of the skyShakin' all overBut he don't know whySolid ball of rockSolid ball of rockSolid ball of rockSolid ball of rockThe killer, he was born againHe saw the gates of hellThe preacher found redemptionIn a Jacksonville motelThe Devil take the hindmostThey're running out of breathThey're gonna have a reckonWith the chilling hand of deathSolid ball of rockSolid ball of rockSolid ball of rockCrashing out of the skyShakin' all overBut he don't know whySolid ball of rockSolid ball of rockSolid ball of rockCrashing out of the skyShakin' all overBut he don't know why |
