CHORUS 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'll be the day that I die
AMERICAN PIE Don McLean 1971年作品, 至今四十多年仍不停再被錄音翻唱, 樂迷能夠啷啷上口唱一, 两段者大有人在, 很多人能唱或閲讀該歌詞, 但要明白其内容就較難了, 對我們非英語的樂迷是可理解的, 但眾多歐美樂迷亦不明固中所言, 美國音樂業界人士曾多番請求 Don McLean 解釋歌詞或透露多少其創作意念, 但全不得要領, 唯有各自於字裡行間推拷, 試找出此曲詞之原意。
