Lyrics:
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 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
Them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singing, "This'll be the day that I die"
This will 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 dancing in the gym
You both kicked off your shoes
Then 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 singing bye-bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee
But the levee was dry
Them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singing, "This'll be the day that I die"
This will be the day that I die
Now for ten years we've been on our own
And moss grows fat on a rolling 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 Lenin 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 drinking whiskey and rye
Singing, "This'll be the day that I die"
This will be the day that I die
Helter skelter in the 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 halftime 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 drinking whiskey and rye
And singing, "This'll be the day that I die"
This will 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 drinking whiskey and rye
And singing, "This'll 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
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 drinking whiskey and rye
Singing, "This'll be the day that I die"
This will 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 drinking whiskey and rye
Singing, "This'll be the day that I die"
Over 9 minutes of singing, it's no wonder you've put this off for so long. Great job and thank you.
Bravo, Tara!
Hi Tara, Just want to let you know that I can't get enough of listening to your American Pie cover. Your cover is the best that I have ever heard. We are all so lucky to hear you each Sunday. Thank you!!!!
Not my favourite song, but a beautiful rendition by Tara makes it much better 🤩🤩🤩🤩
Hey Doc ✨️
This song has a beautiful memory for me, as my eldest as a toddler (pre school ) would sing the chorus and a bit more, with me....she's 25 now !...
Having a Happy tear remembering her singing those words.......Thank You 🧡
Stay Safe Everyday ☮️🕊⚕️🌟
I remember tooling around Lubbock as a kid. Racing, and getting in trouble as a teen. While I was doing that, this song would be on the radio. Good times, great history, and so close to my home.
You should do 'Empty Chairs'. That is one of my favorite Don Mclean songs. I would love to hear your version.
Tara, that is one of my favourite songs of all time and when I saw this was your song this week I was very excited. You sang it absolutely beautiful. Your version of it was just amazing. My Sunday is now complete. X
Absolutely marvelous!! Tara, you were sounding amazing on this. A classic hit and you did a great job covering the song. The foot was tapping from the start, and it wasn’t long before I started to sing along! Well worth the wait, and what a wonderful performance of the song! Outstanding Tara!!🔥🔥👏👏🙏🎶
Great Words Hoosier60 !
Some more great musical memories on a Sunday morning! Love this one Tara!!!💕💕💕
I was a freshman in high school when this song was released originally. Really takes me back.❤️
WOW That was a hard song to do, For most people it would take many days practice on and off to get the voice of it right.
Way to put your heart into it.
Worth the wait! Great job TJ 😁
Good morning DOC, thanks for getting it started
Great job!
Amazing.
Thanks for yet another golden oldie ......always a pleasure tuning in lass.
Yikes, I remember dancing in the club to this song in the 90s. Remixes and all.
Very beautiful Tara! Thank you!
Great cover of this song! I know you put a lot of work in on this one. Thank you!
One of the favorite songs of my youth (yep, going back a few years!!)
Great job!! Definitely worth the wait.
