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 ppl dance and
|
maybe they`be happy for a while
|
but february made me shiver with every paper i`d deliver
|
bad news on the doorstep i couldnt take one more step
|
i cant remember if i cried when i read about his widowed bride
|
something touched me deep inside the day the music died
|
|
so bye bye miss american pie
|
drove my chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
|
them good ol boys were drinking whiskey and rye singing
|
this will be the day that i die
|
this will be the day that i die
|
|
did you write the book of love and do you have faith in god above?
|
if the bible tells you so
|
now do you believe in rock and 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 dancing in the gym
|
you both kicked off you shoes man i dig those rhythm and blues
|
i was a lonely teenage broncing buck with a pink carnation and
|
a pickup truck but i knew i was out of luck the day the music died
|
|
i started singing bye bye miss american pie
|
drove my chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
|
them good ol boys were drinking whiskey and rye singing
|
this will be the day that i die
|
this will be the day that i die
|
|
now for ten years we`ve been on our own and moss grows fat on a
|
rolling stone but
|
that`s not how it used to be
|
when the jester sang for the king and queen in a coat he borrowed
|
from james dean
|
in a voice that came from you and me
|
oh and while the king was looking down the jester stole his thorny crown
|
the courtroom was adjourned no verdict was returned
|
and while lenin read a book on marx the quartet practiced in the park and
|
we sang dirges in the dark the day music died
|
|
we were singing bye bye miss american pie
|
drove my chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
|
them good ol boys were drinking whiskey and rye singing
|
this will be the day that i die
|
this will be the day that i die
|
|
helter skelter in the summer swelter the birds flew off with a fallout shelter
|
eight miles high and falling fast
|
it landed foul on the grass
|
the players tried for a forward pass with the jester on the sidelines in a cast
|
now the halfitme air eas sweet perfume while the sergeant played a marching tune
|
we all got up to dance oh but we never got the chance
|
cause the players tried to take the field the marching band refused to yield
|
do you recall what was revealed the day the music died?
|
|
wes started singing bye bye mis american pie
|
drove my chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
|
them good ol boys were drinking whiskey and rye singing
|
this will be the day i die
|
this will be the day i die
|
|
and there we were all in one place a generation lost in space
|
with no time left to start again
|
so come on jack be nimble jack be quick jack flash sat on a candlestick cause fire is the devils only friend
|
and as i watched him on the stage my hands were clenched in fists of rage
|
no angel born in hell could break that satans spell
|
and as the flames climbed high into the night the sacrificial rite i saw
|
satan laughing with delight the day music died
|
|
we were singing bye bye miss american pie
|
drove my chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
|
them good ol boys were drinking whiskey and rye singing
|
this will be the day that i die
|
this will be the day that i die
|
|
i met a gril who sang the blues and i asked her for some happy news
|
she just smiled and turned away
|
i went down to the sacred store where i`d heard the music and the poets dreamed but
|
now 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
|
|
we were singing bye bye miss american pie
|
drove my chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
|
them good ol boys were drinking whiskey and rye singing
|
this will be the day that i die
|
this will be the day that i die
