American Pie

Sangtekst
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´
