American Pie II - Local Hero

[00:00.52]A long long time ago
[00:01.78]I can still remember how that music used to make me smile
[00:06.06]And I knew if I had my chance
[00:07.62]That I could make those people dance
[00:09.05]And maybe they'd be happy for a while
[00:10.95]But February made me shiver
[00:13.09]With every paper I'd deliver
[00:15.43]Bad news on the doorstep
[00:17.2]I couldn't take one more step
[00:18.67]I can't remember if I cried
[00:20.84]When I read about his widowed bride
[01:24.54]But something touched me deep inside
[01:28.13]The day the music died
[01:38.09]So bye bye Miss American Pie
[01:41.42]Drove my chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
[01:55.240005]And them good ole boys were drinking whiskey 'n rye
[02:12.05]Singin' this'll be the day that I die
[02:18.63]This'll be the day that I die
[02:24.14]Did you write the book of love
[02:27.26]And do you have faith in god above
[02:31.03]If the bible tells you so
[02:35.32]Now do you believe in rock and roll
[02:50.69]Can music save your mortal soul
[02:56.3]And can you teach me how to dance real slow
[03:07.32]Well I know that you're in love with him
[03:44.37]'Cause I saw you dancin' in the gym
[03:47.23]You both kicked off your shoes
[03:57.88]Man I dig those rhythm and blues
[04:05.57]I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck
[04:07.95]With a pink carnation and a pickup truck
[04:13.47]But I knew I was out of luck
[04:21.32]The day the music died
[04:40.97]I started singing bye bye Miss American Pie
[04:50.33002]Drove my chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
[04:54.04]Them good ole boys were drinking whiskey 'n rye
[05:09.26]Singin' this'll be the day that I die
[05:26.28]This'll be the day that I die
[05:32.01]Now for ten years we've been on our own
[06:03.66]And moss grows fat on a rollin' stone
[06:33.53]But that's not how it used to be
[06:40.33002]When the jester sang for the king and queen
[06:42.86]In a coat he borrowed from james dean
[06:48.03]And a voice that came from you and me
[06:55.43]Oh and while the king was looking down
[07:01.38]The jester stole his thorny crown
[07:03.06]The courtroom was adjourned
[07:06.99]No verdict was returned
[07:08.71]And while lenin read a book on marx
[07:16.91]The quartet practiced in the park
[07:19.83]And we sang dirges in the dark
[07:23.31]The day the music died
[07:27.14]We were singing bye bye Miss American Pie
[07:32.35]Drove my chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
[07:35.56]Them good ole boys were drinking whiskey 'n rye
[07:39.91]Singin' this'll be the day that I die
[07:43.07]This'll be the day that I die
