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 they'd be happy for a while.

Strophe
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?
But, I know that you're in love with him,
'cause I saw you dancing in the gym.
You both kicked off your shoes, man, I did those rhythmy 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.

1. Refrain
I started singing, bye-bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my chevy to the levee but the levee was dry.
And good old boys were drinking whisky and rye,
Singing this'll be the day that I die, this'll be the day that I die.

Strophe
I met a girl who sang the blues, and I asked her for some happy news,
But she just smiled and turned away.
Well 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.
Well now, 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 took the last train for the coast, the day the music died.

Refrain

We started singing, bye-bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my chevy to the levee but the levee was dry.
And good old boys were drinking whisky and rye,
Singing this'll be the day that I die, this'll be the day that I die.

Refrain
Bye-bye, Miss American Pie,
Drove my chevy to the levee but the levee was dry.
And good old boys were drinking whisky and rye,
Singing this'll be the day that I die, this'll be the day that I die.

We started singing, we started singing.

We started singing, we started singing...
