Long, long time ago,
I can still remember
how that music used to
make me smile

And I knew if I had
my chance, that I could
make those people
dance and maybe they'd
be happy for a while

But February made me
shiver, with every paper
I'd deliver. Bad news on
the doorstep, I couldn't
take one more step

I can't remember if I

cried when I read about
his widowed bride

But something touched

me deep inside,
the day the music died

So bye-bye
Miss American pie,

drove my Chevy
to the levee but the
levee was dry

Them good old boys
were drinkin' Whiskey
and Rye, singin' 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?

Now do you
believe in rock 'n' 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 dancin'
in the gym

You both kicked off
your shoes, man I

dig those rhythm and
blues

I was a lonely
teenage bronkin' buck

with a pink
carnation and a pick-up
truck, but I

Knew I was out of luck

the day the music died

I started singin' bye-bye
Miss American pie,
drove my Chevy
to the levee but the
levee was dry

Them good old boys
were drinkin' Whiskey
and Rye, singin' This'll

be the day that I die

Now for ten years
we've been on our own
and moss grows fat on
a rollin' stone, but that's

not how it used to be

When the Jester sang

for the King and Queen

in a coat he borrowed

from James Dean and
a voice

That came from you

and me

Oh, and
while the King was

looking down
the Jester stole his
thorny crown

The courtroom was

adjourned. no verdict
was returned

And while Lenin read
a book on Marx,

the quartet practiced
in the park

And we sang dirges

in the dark the day the
music died

We were singin'
bye-bye Miss American
pie, drove my Chevy to
the levee but the levee

was dry

Them good old boys
were drinkin' Whiskey
and Rye, singin' This'll

be the day that I die

Bye- bye
Miss American pie,

drove my Chevy
to the levee but the
levee was dry

Them good old boys
were drinkin' Whiskey
and Rye, singin' This'll

be the day that I die

This'll be the day

that I die
