American Pie (Radio Edit)

A long, long time ago...
I can still remember
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those people dance

But february made me shiver

I can? t remember if I cried
But something touched me deep inside

And them good old boys were drinkin? whiskey and rye
"this? ll be the day that I die."

If the Bible tells you so?

And can you teach me how to dance real slow?
Well, I know that you? re in love with him

I was a lonely teenage broncin? buck
But I knew I was out of luck

"bye-bye, miss american pie."

Them good old boys were drinkin? whiskey and rye
"this? ll be the day that I die."
Now for ten years we? ve been on our own

In a coat he borrowed from james dean

And we sang dirges in the dark

"bye-bye, miss american pie."

Them good old boys were drinkin? whiskey and rye
"this? ll be the day that I die."

Now the half-time air was sweet perfume

Oh, but we never got the chance!

Do you recall what was revealed
The day the music died?

"bye-bye, miss american pie."

Them good old boys were drinkin? whiskey and rye
"this? ll be the day that I die."

A generation lost in space
So come on: jack be nimble, jack be quick!
Jack flash sat on a candlestick

Oh, and as I watched him on the stage
No angel born in hell
And as the flames climbed high into the night
I saw satan laughing with delight
The day the music died

"bye-bye, miss american pie."

Them good old boys were drinkin? whiskey and rye
"this? ll be the day that I die."
I met a girl who sang the blues

I went down to the sacred store

They caught the last train for the coast

"bye-bye, miss american pie."

And them good old boys were drinkin? whiskey and rye
"this? ll be the day that I die."

"bye-bye, miss american pie."

Them good old boys were drinkin? whiskey and rye
Singin?, "this? ll be the day that I die."
