A long long time ago[00:00:01]
I can still remember[00:00:04]
How that music used to make me smile[00:00:07]
And I knew if I had my chance[00:00:13]
That I could make those people dance[00:00:18]
And maybe they'd be happy for a while[00:00:21]
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[00:00:40]
When I read about his widowed bride[00:00:44]
But something touched me deep inside[00:00:48]
The day the music died[00:00:51]
So bye-bye Miss American Pie[00:00:59]
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry[00:01:03]
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey in Rye[00:01:09]
Singin' "This'll be the day that I die[00:01:13]
This'll be the day that I die"[00:01:18]
Did you write the book of love[00:01:25]
And do you have faith in God above[00:01:27]
If the Bible tells you so [00:01:32]
Now do you believe in rock and roll [00:01:36]
Can music save your mortal soul [00:01:40]
And can you teach me how to dance real slow [00:01:43]
Well I know that you're in love with him[00:01:50]
'Cause I saw you dancin' in the gym[00:01:54]
You both kicked off your shoes[00:01:58]
Man I dig those rhythm and blues[00:02:01]
I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck[00:02:04]
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck[00:02:08]
But I knew I was out of luck[00:02:11]
The day the music died[00:02:15]
I started singin' bye-bye Miss American Pie[00:02:21]
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry[00:02:25]
Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey in Rye[00:02:29]
Singin' "This'll be the day that I die[00:02:32]
This'll be the day that I die"[00:02:36]
Now for ten years we've been on our own[00:02:41]
And moss grows fat on a rollin' stone[00:02:45]
But that's not how it used to be[00:02:48]
When the jester sang for the king and queen[00:02:53]
In a coat he borrowed from James Dean[00:02:57]
And a voice that came from you and me[00:03:01]
Oh and while the king was looking down[00:03:07]
The jester stole his thorny crown[00:03:11]
The courtroom was adjourned[00:03:14]
No verdict was returned[00:03:17]
And while Lenin read a book on Marx[00:03:21]
The quartet practiced in the park[00:03:25]
And we sang dirges in the dark[00:03:28]
The day the music died[00:03:32]
We were singin' bye-bye Miss American Pie[00:03:38]
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry[00:03:42]
Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey in Rye[00:03:45]
Singin' "This'll be the day that I die[00:03:49]
This'll be the day that I die"[00:03:53]
Helter skelter in a summer swelter[00:03:58]
The birds flew off with a fallout shelter[00:04:01]
Eight miles high and falling fast[00:04:05]
It landed foul on the grass[00:04:10]
The players tried for a forward pass[00:04:13]
With the jester on the sidelines in a cast[00:04:17]
The halftime air was sweet perfume[00:04:24]
While the sergeants played a marching tune[00:04:28]
We all got up to dance[00:04:31]
Oh but we never got the chance[00:04:34]
'Cause the players tried to take the field[00:04:37]
The marching band refused to yield[00:04:41]
Do you recall what was revealed[00:04:45]
The day the music died [00:04:48]
We started singin' bye-bye Miss American Pie[00:04:54]
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry[00:04:58]
Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey in Rye[00:05:02]
And singin' "This'll be the day that I die[00:05:05]
This'll be the day that I die"[00:05:09]
Oh and there we were all in one place[00:05:14]
A generation lost in space[00:05:18]
With no time left to start again[00:05:21]
So come on Jack be nimble Jack be quick[00:05:26]
Jack Flash sat on a candlestick[00:05:30]
'Cause fire is the only devil's friend[00:05:33]
Oh and as I watched him on the stage[00:05:40]
My hands were clenched in fists of rage[00:05:44]
No angel born in Hell[00:05:47]
Could break that Satan's spell[00:05:51]
And as the flames climbed high into the night[00:05:54]
To light the sacrificial rite[00:05:58]
I saw Satan laughing with delight[00:06:01]
The day the music died[00:06:04]
He was singin' bye-bye Miss American Pie[00:06:10]
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry[00:06:14]
Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey in Rye[00:06:18]
And singin' "This'll be the day that I die[00:06:21]
This'll be the day that I die"[00:06:25]
I met a girl who sang the blues[00:06:31]
And I asked her for some happy news[00:06:35]
She just smiled and turned away[00:06:39]
I went down to the sacred store[00:06:45]
Where I'd heard the music years before[00:06:48]
But the man there said the music wouldn't play[00:06:52]
And in the streets the children screamed[00:06:59]
The lovers cried and the poets dreamed[00:07:03]
But not a word was spoken[00:07:06]
The church bells all were broken[00:07:09]
And the three men I admire most[00:07:15]
The Father Son and the Holy Ghost[00:07:19]
They caught the last train for the coast[00:07:23]
The day the music died[00:07:27]
And they were singin' bye-bye Miss American Pie[00:07:34]
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry[00:07:41]
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey in Rye[00:07:46]
Singin' "This'll be the day that I die[00:07:50]
This'll be the day that I die"[00:07:56]
They were singin' bye-bye Miss American Pie[00:08:01]
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry[00:08:05]
Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey in Rye[00:08:09]
And singin' "This'll be the day that I die"[00:08:13]
