Letra American Pie de Tori Amos original
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'
And 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
