[00:00.02]American Pie The Next Best Thing) - The Hollywood Band
[00:00.25]A long long time ago
[00:03.18]I can still remember
[00:05.66]How that music used to make me smile
[00:10.64]And I knew if I had my chance
[00:14.96]That I could make those people dance
[00:18.60]And maybe they'd be happy for a while
[00:41.24]Did you write the book of love
[00:43.78]And do you have faith in God above
[00:48.84]If the Bible tells you so
[00:53.74]Now do you believe in rock and roll
[00:57.67]Can music save your mortal soul
[01:02.14]And can you teach me
[01:03.67]How to dance real slow
[01:09.04]Well I know that you're in love with him
[01:12.84]Cause I saw you dancing in the gym
[01:17.19]You both kicked off your shoes
[01:20.57]Man I dig those rhythm and blues
[01:24.43]I was a lonely teenage broncin buck
[01:28.56]With a pink carnation and a pickup truck
[01:32.20]But I knew I was out of luck
[01:36.18]The day the music died
[01:42.94]Oh we were singing
[01:44.55]Bye bye Miss American Pie
[01:47.67]Drove my Chevy to the levee
[01:49.66]But the levee was dry
[01:52.05]And them good ole boys
[01:53.77]Were drinking whiskey and rye
[01:55.61]Singing this'll be the day that I die
[02:00.04]This'll be the day that I die
[02:09.99]I met a girl who sang the blues
[02:12.99]And I asked her for some happy news
[02:17.52]But she just smiled and turned away
[02:22.58]Well I went down to the sacred store
[02:26.35]Where I'd heard the music years before
[02:30.59]But the man there said the music wouldn't play
[02:38.02]Well now in the streets the children screamed
[02:42.34]The lovers cried and the poets dreamed
[02:46.76]But not a word was spoken
[02:50.15]The church bells all were broken
[02:53.52]And the three men I admire most
[02:57.87]The Father Son and the Holy Ghost
[03:02.07]They caught the last train for the coast
[03:05.46]The day the music died
[03:11.97]Only we singing
[03:13.54]Bye bye Miss American Pie
[03:16.70]Drove my Chevy to the levee
[03:18.78]But the levee was dry
[03:21.06]And them good ole boys
[03:22.61]Were drinking whiskey and rye
[03:24.61]Singing this'll be the day that I die
[03:29.05]This'll be the day that I die
[03:46.51]Bye bye Miss American Pie
[03:49.59]Drove my Chevy to the levee
[03:51.60]But the levee was dry
[03:53.75]And them good ole boys
[03:55.47]Were drinking whiskey and rye
[03:57.65]Singing this'll be the day that I die
[04:01.93]This'll be the day that I die
[04:06.14]Who's gatta singing
[04:09.97]Who's gatta singing
[04:13.95]Who's gatta singing
[04:17.73]Who's gatta singing
[04:21.60]Who's gatta singing
