American Pie

Runnin' all over hells half acres

That's just human nature

Sick as a dog readin' the papers

Sympathy is knife in American pie

Keep on runnin', runnin' till the river runs dry

We keep runnin' it's a good day as any to-

They said that man's half dead

He almost lost his head

Speak of the devil his eyes turned red

Ears are burnin' with pride

Adeline drove five state lines to a house on a big fault line

Gold rush ended in '55 but we stilll all want a slice of American pie

Keep on runnin' runnin' till the river runs dry

We keep runnin' it's a good day as any to-

Sweet and soughten

Teeth are rotten

I can't afford to lose my mind

That's American pie

Keep on runnin'

It's a good day as any to die

Runnin' all over hells half acres

Kiss on the cheek of the undertaker

They'll lend a hand but it ain't no favor

It always comes at a price

American pie

American pie

Sweet and soughten

Teeth are rotten

Can't afford to lose my mind

That's American pie

It's a good day as any to–
