"American Pie" lyrics

You're 17 hundred 76 miles away from all of this back home, back home
You show me 50 stars I'll give you 50 kisses from my soul, my soul
Oh, and every day I pledge allegiance to my girl
'Cause you're the reason
My sun rises in the west
I know it's strange but that's where you are
Yeah, right in my heart

Red-hair, white-skin, blue-eyed girl
Wait for us while we change the world
My tired bones still fight for her
My red-hair, white-skin, blue-eyed girl

Oh yeah the bombs are falling
Lighting up my sky like the 4th of July
You're the apple of my eye
My sweet American pie

I'm less than 30 days away from seeing your pretty angel face once more, once more
If all is fair in love and war you'll find my purple heart at your front door

Red-hair, white-skin, blue-eyed girl
Wait for us while we change the world
My tired bones still fight for her
My red-hair, white-skin, blue-eyed girl

Oh yeah the bombs are falling
Lighting up my sky like the 4th of July
You're the apple of my eye
My sweet American pie

Oh I can feel you coming
If it takes some time baby I won't lie
Wait again I'll be by your side
My sweet American pie

Be my guiding light, you're keeping me alive tonight (shine bright)
Babe I got a light, you're keeping me alive tonight (shine bright)
Be my guiding light, shine bright

Oh yeah the bombs are falling
Lighting up my sky like the 4th of July
You're the apple of my eye
My sweet American pie

Oh I can feel you coming
If it takes some time, baby I won't lie
Wait again I'll be by your side
My sweet American Pie
