LyricMeaning

American Pie
Black Gold

A long long time ago, I can still remember

How that music used to make me smile

And I knew if I had my chance

That I could make those people dance

And maybe, they'd be happy for a while

But February made me shiver

With ev'ry paper I'd deliver

Bad news on the door step

I couldn't take one more step

I can't remember if I creid

When I read about this widowed bride

Something touched me deep inside

The day the music died, so


*Bye bye Miss American Pie

Drove my chevy to the levy

But the levy was dry

Then good old boys

Were drinkin' whiskey in Rye

Singin' this'll be the day that I die

This'll be the day that I die


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

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

Then I digged those rhythm and blues

I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck

With a pink carnation and a pick up truck

But I knew I was out of luck

The day the music died, I started singing


(Repeat *)


I met a girl who sang the blues

And I asked her for some happy news

But she just smiled and turned away

I went down to the sacred store

Where I'd heard the music years before

But the men there said

The music wouldn't play

But in the streets the children screamed

The lovers cried and the poets dreamed

But not a world was spoken

The church bells all were broken

And the three man I admire most

The father son and holy ghost

They caught the last train for the coast

The day the music died

And they were singin'


(Repeat *)


That night we gave it hell on the stage

Like Robert Plant and Jimmy Page

From the Band which is nevermore

We'd just found out their drummer died

And we really really must abide

The rules of Rock 'n Roll

I picked up a can of drink

Then threw it back to the ground

We played that song again

With it's beautiful refrain

And we remembered


(Repeat *)
