How that music used to make me smile
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those people dance
But February made me shiver
With every paper I deliver
I couldn't take one more step
I can't remember if I cried
What I read about his widowed bride
But something touched me deep inside
So bye bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee
were drinking whiskey and rye
Singing this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die
Did you write the book of love
And do you have faith in God above
If the Bible tells you so
Do you believe in rock and roll
Can music save your mortal soul
Well 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 dig those rhythm and blues
I was a lonely teenage bouncing buck
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck
But I knew I was out of luck
Bye bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee
were drinking whiskey an d rye
Singing this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die
And the moss grows fat on a rolling stone
But that's not how it used to be
In a coat he borrowed from James Dean
Oh, and while the king was looking down
The jester stole his thorny crown
The courtroom was adjourned
And while Lenin read a book of marks
The quartet practiced in the park
We sang adages in the dark
We were singing bye -bye,
Drove my Chevy to the levee,
were drinking whiskey and rye
Singing, this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die
So I applied Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee
were drinking whiskey an d rye
Singing this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die you
