CLICK/LISTEN: I Took a Cab Ride (With Reverend Billy)
One half of the sales price for this song/ringtone will go to Reverend Billy and his Flock! Go and visit them and fall in love!!!
I took a cab ride with Reverend Billy
I suggested the Starbucks Drive through
Billy was struck by a bolt from up above
And he got on his knees and prayed
He said save her
Save her
She’s a beautiful child of this world
She’s got one hand in the devils paw
The other on her credit card
Exorcise the demons from this girl
Billy was afire with the spirit from above
My body was a shakin’
Felt like I was cracking up
We came upon a wal mart store
I got that devils urge
So the Reverend held me down while I purged
He said save her
Save her
She’s a beautiful child of this world
She’s got one hand in the devils paw
The other on her credit card
Exorcise the demons from this girl
We raced across the city
To the Mercury Café
We ordered local cheeses
And some fair trade lattes
Billy held my fragile head
And fed me apple pie
And we sent those corporate coffee cups
Right back down to hell to fry
He said save her, save her
She’s a beautiful child of this world
She’s got one hand in the devils paw
The other in her money box
Exorcise the demons from this girl
With admiration and thanks to Reverend Billy (muse), DJ Bonebrake (drummer), Lindy Dickerson (guitars) and Travis Dickerson (organ, production)!

I love the refrain in this one!
Awesome! I love it! You’ve outdone yourself this time, Camille. This one has amazing earworm potential.
Too funny! I think you were singing about me!
I love this, Camille! It has an early Dixie Chicks vibe to it – and I mean that as very high praise. I’m with Kitch: the refrain is already stuck in my head.

absolutely incredible!
Camille Bright-Smith – I just hope you’re well and singing. Now its been a while since the Denver visit, already memorialized in your exorcism this grille song and we’ve both moved on – but just checking in to make sure we don’t lose touch TOO much. What was the name of that multiple stage venue with the local feel and the regal proprietress? I always think of returning to preach there. …a good bawdy church! —billy
Hello Reverend and Happy Fathers Day,
thanks so much for visiting and commenting. You are thinking of the magical Marilyn at the Mercury Cafe. I am putting a show together to perform there in the fall. Yes, a church of good souls and spirits for sure. How can I help?
