Madonna – American Pie Lyrics  Share

From Madonna's album: Music

A long, long time ago
I can still remember
How that music used to make me smile
And I knew that if I had my chance
I could make those people dance
And maybe they^,d be happy for a while

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 ^,n roll
And 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 [both kicked off your shoes]
Man, I dig those rhythm ^,n blues

I was a lonely teenage broncin^, buck
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck
But I knew that I was out of luck
The day the music died
I started singin^,

Chorus:

Bye bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
[ American Pie lyrics from
http://www.musiclyricsnow.net/m/madonna/american-pie/ ]
And good ol^, boys were drinkin^, whiskey and rye
Singin^,, "This will be the day that I die,
This will 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
Well 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

Well now in the streets the children screamed [the children screamed]
The lovers cried and the poets dreamed [the poets dreamed]
But not a word was spoken [not a word was spoken]
The church bells all were broken

And the three men I admire the most
The Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost
They caught the last train for the coast
The day the music died
We start singin^,

(chorus, repeat)

We started singin^,
(repeat 3 times)
