Lyrics
American Pie
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
In the streets the children screamed
The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed
And not a word was spoken
The church bells all were broken
The three men I admired most
The father, son, and the holy ghost
They took the last train for the coast
The day the music died
They were singing "bye bye miss american pie"
I drove my chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
Them good ol boys were drinkin whiskey and rye
Singing "thisll be the day that I die, thisll be the day that I die"
And the three men I admired most
The father, son, and the holy ghost
They took the last train for the coast
The day the music died
