A long long time ago[00:00:01]
I can still remember how that music used to make me smile[00:00:05]
And I knew if I had my chance[00:00:13]
That I could make those people dance[00:00:17]
And maybe they'd be happy for a while [00:00:20]
But February made me shiver[00:00:27]
With every paper I'd deliver[00:00:30]
Bad news on the doorstep[00:00:34]
I couldn't take one more step[00:00:37]
I can't remember if I cried[00:00:42]
When I read about his widowed bride[00:00:45]
But something touched me deep inside[00:00:49]
The day the music died[00:00:54]
So Bye-bye Miss American Pie[00:01:03]
Drove my chevy to the levee[00:01:08]
But the levee was dry[00:01:11]
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye[00:01:14]
Singin' this'll be the day that I die[00:01:18]
This'll be the day that I die[00:01:23]
Did you write the Book of Love[00:01:29]
And do you have faith in God above[00:01:33]
If the Bible tells you so[00:01:36]
Do you believe in rock 'n roll[00:01:41]
Can music save your mortal soul[00:01:45]
And can you teach me how to dance real slow[00:01:48]
Well I know that you're in love with him[00:01:54]
'Cause I saw you dancin' in the gym[00:01:59]
You both kicked off your shoes[00:02:02]
Man I dig those rhythm and blues[00:02:05]
I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck[00:02:08]
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck[00:02:12]
But I knew I was out of luck[00:02:15]
The day the music died[00:02:19]
I started singin'[00:02:23]
Bye-bye Miss American Pie[00:02:26]
Drove my chevy to the levee[00:02:28]
But the levee was dry[00:02:31]
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye[00:02:33]
Singin' this'll be the day that I die[00:02:36]
This'll be the day that I die[00:02:40]
Now for ten years we've been on our own[00:02:45]
And moss grows fat on a rollin' stone[00:02:48]
But that's not how it used to be[00:02:52]
When the jester sang for the King and Queen[00:02:57]
In a coat he borrowed from James Dean[00:03:01]
And a voice that came from you and me[00:03:04]
Oh and while the King was looking down[00:03:11]
The jester stole his thorny crown[00:03:15]
The courtroom was adjourned[00:03:19]
No verdict was returned[00:03:22]
And while Lennon read a book of Marx[00:03:24]
The quartet practiced in the park[00:03:29]
And we sang dirges in the dark[00:03:32]
The day the music died[00:03:36]
We were singing[00:03:38]
Bye-bye Miss American Pie[00:03:43]
Drove my chevy to the levee[00:03:46]
But the levee was dry[00:03:48]
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye[00:03:50]
Singin' this'll be the day that I die[00:03:53]
This'll be the day that I die[00:03:57]
Helter Skelter in a summer swelter[00:03:59]
The Byrds flew off with a fallout shelter[00:04:05]
Eight miles high and falling fast[00:04:09]
It landed foul out on the grass[00:04:15]
The players tried for a forward pass[00:04:17]
With the jester on the sidelines in a cast[00:04:21]
Now the half-time air was sweet perfume[00:04:28]
While the Sergeants played a marching tune[00:04:32]
We all got up to dance[00:04:35]
Oh but we never got the chance[00:04:37]
'Cause the players tried to take the field[00:04:43]
The marching band refused to yield[00:04:45]
Do you recall what was revealed[00:04:50]
The day the music died[00:04:53]
We started singing[00:04:58]
Bye-bye Miss American Pie[00:05:00]
Drove my chevy to the levee[00:05:01]
But the levee was dry[00:05:04]
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye[00:05:06]
Singin' this'll be the day that I die[00:05:10]
This'll be the day that I die[00:05:13]
Oh and there we were all in one place[00:05:16]
A generation Lost in Space[00:05:22]
With no time left to start again[00:05:26]
So come on Jack be nimble Jack be quick[00:05:31]
Jack Flash sat on a candlestick[00:05:34]
'Cause fire is the Devil's only friend[00:05:38]
Oh and as I watched him on the stage[00:05:41]
My hands were clenched in fists of rage[00:05:48]
No angel born in hell[00:05:52]
Could break that Satan's spell[00:05:55]
And as the flames climbed high into the night[00:05:58]
To light the sacrifical rite[00:06:02]
I saw Satan laughing with delight[00:06:06]
The day the music died[00:06:09]
He was singing[00:06:15]
Bye-bye Miss American Pie[00:06:17]
Drove my chevy to the levee[00:06:19]
But the levee was dry[00:06:21]
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye[00:06:23]
Singin' this'll be the day that I die[00:06:26]
This'll be the day that I die[00:06:30]
I met a girl who sang the blues[00:06:37]
And I asked her for some happy news[00:06:40]
But she just smiled and turned away[00:06:44]
I went down to the sacred store[00:06:49]
Where I'd heard the music years before[00:06:52]
But the man there said the music wouldn't play[00:06:56]
And in the streets the children screamed[00:07:04]
The lovers cried and the poets dreamed[00:07:08]
But not a word was spoken[00:07:11]
The church bells all were broken[00:07:15]
And the three men I admire most[00:07:20]
The Father Son and the Holy Ghost[00:07:24]
They caught the last train for the coast[00:07:28]
The day the music died[00:07:32]
And they were singing[00:07:39]
Bye-bye Miss American Pie[00:07:41]
Drove my chevy to the levee[00:07:46]
But the levee was dry[00:07:49]
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye[00:07:52]
Singin' this'll be the day that I die[00:07:57]
This'll be the day that I die[00:08:02]
They were singing bye-bye Miss American Pie[00:08:08]
Drove my chevy to the levee[00:08:15]
But the levee was dry[00:08:17]
Them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye[00:08:20]
Singin' this'll be the day that I die[00:08:28]
