American Pie Songtext
von Just Luis

Bye bye
Bye bye

I 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 and rye
And singing this′ll be the day that I die

Do you write the book of love
And do you have faith in God above
If the Bible tells you so? (Tells you so, tells you so)
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 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 singing
Bye bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
Them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
And singing 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 drinking whiskey and rye
And singing this′ll be the day that I die

Now for ten years we've been on our own
And moss grows fat on our rolling stones
But that′s not how it used to be (Used to be, oh yeah)
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
Nobody 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 singing
Bye bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
Them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
And singing 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 drinking whiskey and rye
And singing this′ll be the day that I die

Bye bye
Bye bye
