[00:01.050]a long long time ago.
[00:03.420]i can sitll remember.
[00:06.130]how that music used to make me smile.
[00:10.900]and i knew that if i had my chance.
[00:14.160]i could make those people dance.
[00:18.200]and maybe they'd be happy for a while.
[00:40.370]did you write the book of love?
[00:43.450]and do you have faith in god above.
[00:48.000]if the bible tells you so?
[00:52.360]now do you believe in rock and roll?
[00:57.140]can music save your mortal soul?
[01:01.260]and can you teach me?
[01:03.080]how to dance real slowly?
[01:08.000]well, i know that you are in love with him.
[01:12.250]'cause i saw you dancing in the gym.
[01:16.540]you both kicked off your shoes.
[01:19.980]man,i dig those rhythm and blues.
[01:23.720]i was a lonely teenage broncing buck.
[01:27.850]with a pink carnation a pickup truck.
[01:31.790]but i knew that i was out of luck.
[01:35.770]the day the music died.
[01:42.000]i started singing!
[01:43.760]bye,bye miss american pie.
[01:46.570]drove my chivy to the levee.
[01:48.610]but the levee was dry.
[01:51.250]then goo dole boys
[01:52.970]were drinking whiskey and rye.
[01:54.310]singing this'll be the day that i die.

[02:09.630]i met a girl who sang the blues.
[02:12.330]and i asked her for some happy news.
[02:16.940]but she just smiled turned away.
[02:21.770]then i went down to the sacred store.
[02:25.930]where i'd heard the music years before.
[02:28.430]but the man there said.
[02:31.670]the music wouldn't play.
[02:36.880]well now in the streets the children screamed.
[02:41.840]the lovers cried and the poets dreamed.
[02:45.470]but not a word was spoken.
[02:49.370]the church bells all were broken.
[02:52.770]and the three men i'm admire most
[02:57.470]the father,son, the holy ghost.
[03:01.460]they caught the last train for the coast.
[03:04.940]the day the music died.
