American Pie(Live/1971)
A long long time ago
-
- A 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
- And them good old boys were drinking whiskey in 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
- 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
- We started singing bye bye miss American Pie
- Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
- And them good old boys were drinking whiskey in Rye
- Singing This'll be the day that I die
- This'll be the day that I die
- Now for ten years we've been on our own
- And moss grows fat on a rolling 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
- And we were singing bye bye miss American Pie
- Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
- Them good old boys were drinking whiskey in 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
- It landed foul on the grass
- The players tried for a forward pass
- With the jester on the sidelines in a cast
- Now the halftime air was sweet perfume
- While the sergeants played a marching tune
- We all got up to dance
- Oh but we never got the chance
- 'Cause while the players tried to take the field
- The marching band refused to yield
- Do you recall what was revealed
- The day
- The music died
- We started singing bye bye miss American Pie
- Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
- Them good old boys were drinking whiskey in Rye
- Singing this'll be the day that I die
- This'll be the day that I die
- And there we were all in one place
- A generation lost in space
- With no time left to start again
- So come on Jack be nimble Jack be quick
- Jack Flash sat on a candlestick
- Because fire is the devil's only friend
- And as I watched him on the stage
- My hands were clenched in fists of rage
- No angel born in Hell
- Could break that Satan's spell
- And as the flames climbed high into the night
- To light the sacrificial rite
- I saw Satan laughing with delight
- The day
- The music died
- And we was singing bye bye miss American Pie
- Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
- Them good old boys were drinking whiskey in Rye
- And 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
- Not a word was spoken
- The church bells all were broken
- And the three men I admire most
- The Father Son and the Holy Ghost
- They caught the last train for the coast
- 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 drinking whiskey in Rye
- Singing This'll be the day that I die
- This'll be the day that I die
- And we were singing bye bye miss American Pie
- Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
- Them good old boys were drinking whiskey in Rye
- Singing This'll be the day that I die
Come to join my duet!
