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
I could make those people dance
And maybe they´d be happy for a while

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 dancin´ in the gym
You both kicked off your shoes

And I dig those rhythm and blues
I was a lonely teenage broncin´ buck
With a pink carnation and a pickup 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 ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye

Singin´ 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
Then 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
Well now 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 the most the Father,
Son, and the Holy Ghost
They caught the last train for the coast

The day the music died
They started singin'
Bye, bye Miss American Pie

Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
Them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singin´ this´ll be the day that I die

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 ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singin´ this´ll be the day that I die
This´ll be the day that I die

They started singin'
They started singin'
They started singin'

They started singin'
