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
and can music save your mortal soul and
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 broncin' buck with a
Pink carnation and a pick up truck,
But I knew that I__ was out__ of luck the day__, the mu___sic, died__.
I started singing,
Bye__ - Bye__, Miss American Pie,
Drove my chevy to the levee but the levee was dry,
Them good ole' boys were drinkin' 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__,
Well I went down to the sacred store
Where I'd heard the music years before, but the man there said the music
Well now in the streets the children screamed,
the lovers cried and the poets dreamed
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 mu___sic, died__.
They started singing,
Bye__ - Bye__, Miss American Pie,
Drove my chevy to the levee but the levee was dry,
Them good ole' boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye, singin'
This'll be the day that I die___, This'll be the day that I die___.
