Name: REV. CASEY
Duration: P00H03M21S
Description: Rev. Casy's character is straight out of The Grapes of Wrath; I consider John Steinbeck's book to be one the quintessential American Experience novels. A well-spring of inspiration.

lyrics

Rev. Casey w&m by: bill mallonee c.BMI 2018
I don't know what you ever expected outta me
I've gotta penchant for only lookin' out after me

Ain't nothing much good ever
come outta this county...
'cept the preachin' of Rev. Casey.

I asked him once just how he'd come by
such spiritual insights
into things like God & Man & Grace
and things one day being put right
he put his hand on my shoulder and said:
"It doesn't happen over night..."
The preachin' of Rev. Casey

Bridge:
I've seen him jump up on the pulpit
a man possessed by just one hope
He had a tear in his eye for all mankind
and a lump in that dusty throat

Now there are 3 things I know
that are good for the soul
one is Jesus and the other two are
reverb and tremolo
One makes you whole, and one'll make you clean
and the preachin' word of Rev. Casey...
