《American Pie》
A long long time ago
I can still remember how that music used
to make me smile
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those
people dance
And maybe they'd be happy for a while.
Did you write the
Book of Love
And do you have faith in God above
If the Bible tells you
so
Do you believe in rock 'n roll
Can music save your mortal soul
And can you teach me how to dance real slow
Well, I know that you're in
love with him
'Cause I saw you dancin' in the gym
You both kicked off
your shoes
Man, I dig those rhythm and blues
I was a lonely teenage
broncin' buck
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck
But I knew I was
out of luck
The day the music died
I started singin'
Bye-bye, Miss
American Pie
Drove my chevy to the levee
But the levee was dry
And
them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singin' this'll be the day
that I die
This'll be the day that I die
I met a girl who sang the blues
And I asked her for some happy news
But she just smiled and turned away
I went down to the sacred store
Where I'd heard the music years before
But the man there said the music wouldn't play
And in the streets the
children screamed
The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed
But not a word
was spoken
The church bells all were broken
And the three men I admire
most
The Father, Son and the Holy Ghost
They caught the last train for
the coast
The day the music died
And they were singing
Bye-bye, Miss
American Pie
Drove my chevy to the levee
But the levee was dry
And
them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singin' this'll be the day
that I die
This'll be the day that I die
They were singing bye-bye, Miss
American Pie
Drove my chevy to the levee
But the levee was dry
Them
good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singin' this'll be the day that
I die
This'll be the day that I die
A long long time ago
I can still remember how that music used
to make me smile
And I knew if I had my chance
