A long, long time agoI can still rememberHow that music used to make me smileAnd I knew that if I had my chanceI could make those people danceAnd maybe they'd be happy for a whileDid you write the book of loveAnd do you have faith in God aboveIf the Bible tells you soNow do you believe in rock 'n rollAnd can music save your mortal soulAnd can you teach me how to dance real slowWell I know that you're in love with him'Cause I saw you dancin' in the gymYou both kicked off your shoes [both kicked off your shoes]Man, I dig those rhythm 'n bluesI was a lonely teenage broncin' buckWith a pink carnation and a pickup truckBut I knew that I was out of luckThe day the music diedI started singin'Bye bye Miss American PieSongtexteDrove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dryAnd good ol' boys were drinkin' whiskey and ryeSingin', "This will be the day that I die,This will be the day that I die."I met a girl who sang the bluesAnd I asked her for some happy newsBut she just smiled and turned awayWell I went down to the sacred storeWhere I'd heard the music years beforeBut the man there said the music wouldn't playWell now in the streets the children screamed [the children screamed]The lovers cried and the poets dreamed [the poets dreamed]But not a word was spoken [not a word was spoken]The church bells all were brokenAnd the three men I admire the mostThe Father, Son, and the Holy GhostThey caught the last train for the coastThe day the music diedWe start singin'Bye bye Miss American PieDrove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dryAnd good ol' boys were drinkin' whiskey and ryeSingin', "This will be the day that I die,This will be the day that I die."Bye bye Miss American PieDrove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dryAnd good ol' boys were drinkin' whiskey and ryeSingin', "This will be the day that I die,This will be the day that I die."We started singin'We started singin'We started singin' Aus Songtexte Mania
