American Pie Lyrics - Tori Amos

In the streets the children screamed 

The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed 

And not a word was spoken 

The church bells all were broken 

The three men I admired most 

The father, son, and the holy ghost 

They took the last train for the coast 

The day the music died 

They were singing "bye bye miss american pie" 

I drove my chevy to the levee but the levee was dry 

Them good ol' boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye 

Singing "this'll be the day that I die, this'll be the day that I die"
