Versuri American Pie

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 
 
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 you're 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 this'll be the day that I die 
This'll 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 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 
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 this'll be the day that I die 
This'll 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 this'll be the day that I die 
This'll be the day that I die 
 
We started singin' 
We started singin' 
We started singin' 
We started singin'
