A long, long time ago
I can still remember how the endzone used to make me smile
And, I knew if I had my chance that I could make those people laugh, and...
Maybe they'd be happy for a while
But, 2011 made me shiver with every post 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 how it died
Something touched me deep inside the day the endzone died
So, bye bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee, but the levee was dry
Them good ol' boys were drinking whiskey and rye, singing...
This'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die
