Bye bye miss american pie

Drove my chevy to the levee but the levee was dry

And them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye

Singing this'll be the day that i die

This'll be the day that i die

American Pie - Leif Garrett

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 and roll

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

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 broncing buck

With a pink carnation and a pickup truck

But i knew 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 them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye

Singing this'll be the day that i die

This'll be the day that i die

Helter skelter in a summer swelter

The birds flew off with a fallout shelter

Eight miles high and falling fast

Landed foul on the grass

The players tried for a forward pass

With the jester on the sidelines in a cast

Now the half time air was sweet perfume

While sergeants played a marching tune

We all got up to dance

Oh but we never got the chance

Cause the players tried to take the field

The marching band refused to yield

Do you recall what was revealed

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 them good ole boys were drinking 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

And 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 holy ghost

They caught the last train for the coast

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 them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye

Singing this'll be the day that i die

This'll be the day that i die

I started singing

Bye bye miss american pie

Drove my chevy to the levee but the levee was dry

And them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye

Singing this'll be the day that i die

This'll be the day that i die

I started singing

Bye bye miss american pie

Drove my chevy to the levee but the levee was dry

And them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye

Singing

Bye bye miss american pie

Drove my chevy to the levee but the levee was dry

And them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye

Singing
