American Pie (Richard "Humpty" Vission Radio Mix) - 2022 Remaster
A long, long time ago
I can still remember
How that music used to make me smile
And I knew that 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 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 (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 that 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
And good ole boys were drinking whiskey n' 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
She just smiled and turned away
Well, 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 (children screamed)
The lovers cried and the poets dreamed (poets dreamed)
But not a word was spoken
The church bells all were broken
And these 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
We started singing, "Bye-bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee, but the levee was dry
And good ole boys were drinking whiskey n' rye
Singin' this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die
We started singin'
We started singin'
We started singin'
We started singin'
We started singin'
We started singin'
We started singin'
We started singin'
Bye-bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee, but the levee was dry
And good ole boys were drinking whiskey n' 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
And good ole boys were drinking whiskey n' rye
Singin' this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die
I can still remember
How that music used to make me smile
And I knew that if I had my chance
