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 every paper I'd deliver. Bad news on the doorstep; I couldn't take one more step. I can't remember if I cried When I read about his widowed bride, But something touched me deep inside The day the music died. So bye-bye, miss american pie. Drove my chevy to the levee, But the levee was dry. And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and 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? Do you believe in rock 'n 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. Man, I dig those rhythm and blues. I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck With a pink carnation and a pickup truck, But I knew I was out of luck The day the music died. I started singin', "bye-bye, miss american pie." Drove my chevy to the levee, But the levee was dry. Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye And singin', "this'll be the day that I die. "this'll be the day that I die." Now for ten years we've been on our own And moss grows fat on a rollin' stone, But that's not how it used to be. When the jester sang for the king and queen, In a coat he borrowed from james dean And a voice that came from you and me, Oh, and while the king was looking down, The jester stole his thorny crown. The courtroom was adjourned; No verdict was returned. And while lennon read a book of marx, The quartet practiced in the park, And we sang dirges in the dark The day the music died. We were singing, "bye-bye, miss american pie." Drove my chevy to the levee, But the levee was dry. Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye And singin', "this'll be the day that I die. "this'll be the day that I die." Helter skelter in a summer swelter. The birds flew off with a fallout shelter, Eight miles high and falling fast. It landed foul on the grass. The players tried for a forward pass, With the jester on the sidelines in a cast. Now the half-time air was sweet perfume While the sergeants played a marching tune. We all got up to dance, Oh, but we never got the chance! `cause the players tried to take the field; The marching band refused to yield. Do you recall what was revealed The day the music died? We started singing, "bye-bye, miss american pie." Drove my chevy to the levee, But the levee was dry. Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye And singin', "this'll be the day that I die. "this'll be the day that I die." Oh, and there we were all in one place, A generation lost in space With no time left to start again. So come on: jack be nimble, jack be quick! Jack flash sat on a candlestick Cause fire is the devil's only friend. Oh, and as I watched him on the stage My hands were clenched in fists of rage. No angel born in hell Could break that satan's spell. And as the flames climbed high into the night To light the sacrificial rite, I saw satan laughing with delight The day the music died He was singing, "bye-bye, miss american pie." Drove my chevy to the levee, But the levee was dry. Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye And singin', "this'll be the day that I die. "this'll be the day that I die." 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 man there said the music wouldn't play. And in the streets: the children screamed, The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed. But not a word was spoken; The church bells all were broken. And the three men I admire most: The father, son, and the holy ghost, They caught the last train for the coast The day the music died. And they were singing, "bye-bye, miss american pie." Drove my chevy to the levee, But the levee was dry. And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye Singin', "this'll be the day that I die. "this'll be the day that I die." They were singing, "bye-bye, miss american pie." Drove my chevy to the levee, But the levee was dry. Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye Singin', "this'll be the day that I die."

This isn't about the bible it's about buddy holly,richie valans, and the big bopper dying in a plane crash February 3 1959 I'm 13 and I know that The book of Steve Jobs? And I thought he was important before. Nevertheless, it's annoying. Stop doing it.  Isn't this also known as the day the music died? fuck the bible and its bullshit i love how you started that "implying the government is a whore?" Well, you shouldn't. Dumm ...... The government worships money.... Satan gives out money. In conclusion you can say that they worship satan? Implying the government is a whore? Also some crazy people knocking on my door trying to tell me about something I don't believe isn't going to encourage me or give me hope it is just going to annoy me. Love this song especially on this weekend... That's the other Option... I think this song is about the loss of the American "innocence," an innocence that was reflected in pre-60's music. Or at least from Don McLean's perspective. thumbs up for buddy holly big bopper and richie valens the day the music died and bobby dylan but no buddy holly in related vids why is eminem in the related videos and listen to the music that used to make us smile. athiests were also either non-existent, or very few back then, so pretty much bringing a criminal to a room and saying that they're going to hell if they don't get straight quick, was enough to set a person straight for the rest of their life. government is extremely corrupted today, so much that they considered taking "under god" out of the pledge a few years ago. it wouldn't surprise me if government had full control of america in the distant future. but all we can do is hang on, hope, for a human to take the act of punishment into their own hands. well, although government was based off of god, and that an area should be governed by certain rules of god, it has become extremely corrupted over the years as people started forgetting the true meaning of government. now people think government is a body that controls the people within an area, when true government is a body that works with the people, and helps them. this is why death penalty didn't exist back then, because everyone believed god had the final judgement, and that it was wrong Very Wise Words[BEAUTIFUL] Lennon prolly sat on the back of his neck and t-bagged himself
