More quotes by Don McLean
Starry Starry night Paint your palette blue and gray Look out on a summer's day With eyes that know the darkness in my soul Shadows on the hills Sketch the trees and the daffodils Catch the breeze and the winter chills In colors on the snowy linen land.
Don McLean
The kids today all seem to think they should be stars, but I wasn't brought up that way.
Don McLean
Some believe in Jesus, they don't act like they do. Some believe in Mohammed, I don't believe that's true. Cause they do believe in money, and gold is what it's for, all the gold can't buy no peace of mind in a world that don't believe in nothing anymore.
Don McLean

Don McLean
As you sell your soul and sow your seeds, and you wound yourself and your loved ones bleed. And your habits grow and your conscience feeds, on all that you thought you should be.
Don McLean
Something touched me deep inside The day the music died.
Don McLean
I met a girl who sang the blues and I asked her for some happy news, but she just smiled and turned away. And the three men I admire most, The Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost, They caught the last train to the coast The day the music died.
Don McLean
I feel like a spinning top or a DreidelThe spinning don't stop when you leave the cradleYou just slow downRound and around this world you goSpinning through the lives of the people you knowWe all slow down.
Don McLean
A long long time ago, I can still remember how that music use to make me smile.
Don McLean
Drove my chevy to the levee but the levee was dry.
Don McLean
I'm glad that my music has helped other people as it's helped me. It makes me glad that I did what I did with my life.
Don McLean
Bad news on the doorstepI couldn’t take one more step
Don McLean
Helter skelter in a summer swelter.
Don McLean
In a sense, 'American Pie' was a very despairing song but it can also be seen as very hopeful.
Don McLean
Do you believe in rock 'n roll? Can music save your mortal soul?
Don McLean
