[00:25.60]a long long time ago.
[00:37.200]i can sitll remember how.
[00:39.890]that music used 2 make me smile.
[00:52.390]and i knew that if i had my chance.
[01:00.640]that i could make those people dance.
[01:05.970]and maybe they'd be happy 4 a while.
[01:35.970]did u write the book of love?
[01:38.350]and do u have faith in god above.
[01:41.410]if the bible tells u so?
[01:48.30]now do u believe in rock roll?
[01:51.530]can music save ur mortal soul?
[01:56.410]and can u teach me?
[01:57.910]how 2 dance real slowly?
[02:02.850]well, i know that u're in love with him.
[02:06.600]'cause i saw u dancing in the gym.
[02:10.789]u both kicked off ur shoes.
[02:14.40]man,i dig those rhythm blues.
[02:18.100]i was a lonely teenage broncin' buck.
[02:21.660]with a pink carnation a pickup truck.
[02:23.790]but i knew that i was out of luck.
[02:29.410]the day the music died.
[02:35.600]i started singing!
[02:37.290]bye,bye miss american pie.
[02:40.290]drove my chivy 2 the levee.
[02:42.910]but the levee was dry
[02:44.600]then goo dole boys.
[02:45.980]were drinking whiskey rye
[02:47.100]singin' this'll be the day that i die.
[02:52.230]this'll be the day that i die.
[03:02.40]i met a girl who sang the blues.
[03:04.790]and i asked her 4 some happy new.
[03:09.420]but she just smiled turned away.
[03:14.350]then i went down 2 the sacred store.
[03:17.980]where i'd heard the music years before.
[03:22.40]but the man there said.
[03:24.730]the music wouldn't play.
[03:29.230]well now in the streets the children screamed.
[03:32.230]the lovers cried the poets dreamed.
[03:37.40]but not a word was spoken.
[03:38.930]the church bells all were broken.
[03:44.200]and the three men i admire most-
[03:46.940]the father,son, the holy ghost.
[03:52.579]they caught the last train 4 the coast.
[03:55.750]the day the music died.
[04:02.80]we started singing.
