Song Lyrics
but the man there said the music wouldn t play
Drove my chevy to the levee, this ll be the day that i die Pie, and good old boys were drinkin whiskey and rye
but the man there said the music wouldn t play
With a pink carnation and a pick-up truck, singing this ll be the day that i die, this ll be the day that i die
In the streets the children screamed, you both kicked off your shoes, if the bible tells you so
Drove my chevy to the levee, this ll be the day that i die, we started singin
The day the music died, i met a girl who sang the blues, cos i saw you dancin in the gym
long time ago
And i knew that if i had my chance, did you write the book of love, i dig those rhythm and blues
But the levee was dry, and the poets dreamed
But the man there said the music wouldn t play, where i d heard the music years before
This ll be the day that i die, they caught the last train for the coast, long time ago
Cos i saw you dancin in the gym, we started singin
We started singin, miss american pie, this ll be the day that i die
I met a girl who sang the blues, drove my chevy to the levee, i started singing
With a pink carnation and a pick-up truck, tho church bells all were broken
But not a word was spoken, miss american pie
I can still remember how that music used to make me smile, this ll be the day that i die American, cos i saw you dancin in the gym
We started singin, but she just smiled and turned away
but i knew that i was out of luck
