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
