Favourite Lyrics - American Pie

Don McLean

I was a lonely teenage brocin' buck
with a pink carnation and a pick-up truck,
but I knew that I was out of luck the day that music died.

This is a touching song that Don McLean sang and whatever song Don McLean writes is always inspirational. He sang and wrote the song in dedication to the three great artist's Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper who died in a plane crash in 1959 on the 3rd of February and to Don McLean that was the day that music died.
