Solid Ball Of Rock Lyrics - Saxon Chronicles - Saxon

One night in Louisiana 

Down by Highway 84 

You would 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 

Repeat (*)

The killer he was born again 

He saw the gates of hell 

The preacher found redemption 

In a Jacksonville motel 

Devil take the hindmost 

They're running out of breath 

They're gonna have a reckon 

With the chilling hand of death 

Repeat * two times
