A long, long time ago
I can still remember how that music used to
make me smile
And I knew that if I had my chance
I could make those people dance
And maybe theyd 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
Now do you believe in Rock n roll
And can music save your mortal soul
And can you teach me how to dance real slow
Well, I know that youre in love with him
Cos 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 pick-up truck
But I knew that 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
And good old boys were drinkin whiskey and rye
Singing thisll be the day that I die
Thisll 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 Id heard the music years before
But the man there said the music wouldnt play
Well now, in the streets the children screamed
The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed
But not a word was spoken
Tho church bells all were broken
And the three men I admire the most
The Father, Son and the Holy Ghost
They caught the last train for the coast
The day the music died
We started singin
Bye, bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee
But the levee was dry
And good old boys were drinkin whiskey and rye
Singing thisll be the day that I die
Thisll be the day that I die
Bye, bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee
But the levee was dry
And good old boys were drinkin whiskey and rye
Singing thisll be the day that I die
Thisll be the day that I die
We started singin
We started singin
We started singin
We started singin
